Update on the timeline: we now expect to land this change in the master branch in the next few weeks, followed by an official release this coming March or April. As stated above, this change will require libuv to build on all supported platforms, and we've made an effort to ensure all supported platforms will continue to function seamlessly. If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please don't hesitate to reach out.
