Node.js update?

Is there any type of plan to eventually update the bundled Node.js version? currently according to the FiveM docs https://docs.fivem.net/scripting-manual/runtimes/javascript/#using-node-js-apis. FiveM still uses Node version 8.0 which conflicts with packages, which requires you to convert to older releases of the package with possible bugs or flaws which causes a whole slew of other issues. Anyway, was just wondering if it was planned or even possible for that matter. I figured the best topic for this would be feature requests, if not feel free to move it or delete it!

It’s somewhere on the backlog but given the amount of patches we’ve had to make to integrate in an existing libuv loop and V8 isolate any such upgrade will likely lead to regressions at first where there’s missing V8 lock calls and similar.
