It will be end-of-life in two months.  More generally, I don't see the
appeal of packaging old versions, especially old versions that will
soon be unsupported, when there are newer versions (16.X.Y) that will
be supported for a relatively long time (two years).

Also, a question for zamfofex: do the existing node packages still
build, or are there (new) build failures after the patch?

Greetings,
Maxime.
