To maintain ABI compatibility it is required that production +builds of Node.js will be built against the same version of dependencies as the +project vendors. If Node.js is to be built against a different version of a +dependency please create a custom `NODE_MODULE_VERSION` to ensure ecosystem +compatibility. Please consult with the TSC by opening an issue at +https://github.com/nodejs/tsc/issues if you decide to create a custom +`NODE_MODULE_VERSION` so we can avoid duplication in the ecosystem. |
