That said, Stephen was part of that SIG and it sounds like he's bowing out. There's still a few other folks in there. My main concern is with getting stuff like electron-based programs in Fedora. Electron depends on Node.js to work, so having a reasonably up-to-date stack is important if we want to be able to support those applications.
