This addresses this problem for all previous LTS releases for which

ECMAScript Modules - Experimental Warning Removal:
- module: remove experimental modules warning
(Guy Bedford) [#31974](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/31974)
In Node.js 13 we removed the need to include the --experimental-modules
flag, but when running EcmaScript Modules in Node.js, this would still
result in a warning ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is
experimental.
As of Node.js 14 there is no longer this warning when using ESM in
Node.js. However, the ESM implementation in Node.js remains
experimental. As per our stability index: “The feature is not subject
to Semantic Versioning rules. Non-backward compatible changes or
removal may occur in any future release.” Users should be cautious when
using the feature in production environments.
Please keep in mind that the implementation of ESM in Node.js differs
from the developer experience you might be familiar with. Most
transpilation workflows support features such as optional file
extensions or JSON modules that the Node.js ESM implementation does not
support. It is highly likely that modules from transpiled environments
will require a certain degree of refactoring to work in Node.js. It is
worth mentioning that many of our design decisions were made with two
primary goals. Spec compliance and Web Compatibility. It is our belief
that the current implementation offers a future proof model to
authoring ESM modules that paves the path to Universal JavaScript.
Please read more in our documentation.
The ESM implementation in Node.js is still experimental but we do believe
that we are getting very close to being able to call ESM in Node.js
“stable”. Removing the warning is a huge step in that direction.
New V8 ArrayBuffer API:

Multiple ArrayBuffers pointing to the same base address are no longer

It is expected that there will be an ABI mismatch on ARM between the

This adds a new functionality to the assertion module: a dedicated
check for regular expressions. So far it's possible to use
`assert.ok(regexp.test(string))`. This is not ideal though when it
comes to the error message, since it's not possible to know how
either of the input values look like. It's just known that the
assertion failed.
This allows to pass through the regular expression and the input
string. The string is then matched against the regular expression
and reports a expressive error message in case of a failure.

Using `assert.throws()` or `assert.rejects()` in combination with
validation function can be very powerful. Using them by returning
any value besides `true` makes debugging very difficult though
because there's no context or reason why the error validation failed.
Thus, it is recommended to throw an error in such cases instead of
returning anything besides `true`.
