Npm lockfileVersion 2

Hello everyone,
since I moved to npm > 6 (currently on 8), the npm i command changes all package-lock.json files to version 2.

This seems to be backwards-compatible, and apparently I’m the only one in this situation, but that could change, so I think we should bring this up to decide whether to upgrade npm.

@pierre-gilles @VonOx any thoughts?

Ok, my bad… it’s because of the attempted migration to Node.js 16…

Hi Alex

I need to check the impact on the Docker images (v14 npm6)

It seems like we’re pinning the npm version in the package.json files.

The version is recommended, but it’s not strictly enforced.

Info on version compatibility: https://nodejs.org/dist/index.json

Ah yes, Node 16 — I think there’s an impact on crypto.
