so, you do concede it won't work on whatever Node version is current then.

how confident are you that Node 18 will run on whatever platform you're using then? or will you be stuck on a 2023 OS image also? will all the deps be available? will the many layers of tooling still work? will they work on Node 18, or will you need to get Node 18 and Node 2033 running in the same space? etc etc.

it's already a nightmare running things a year or two apart in time in the Node world, I would guess in 2033 you'd need an entire frozen-in-amber VM image with all tooling also frozen in the same amber/.
