-// Workaround for https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/49497, since
-// Node.js is taking ages to release the fix.
-// This bug only affects CJS packages that are imported from ESM. We only apply
-// it to packages that have cycles in their entrypoint. They can be easily
-// caught by our CI in ESM mode on Node.js 20.6.0:
-// - @babel/core
-// - @babel/types
-// - @babel/traverse
-//
-// We will remove this workaround after one week that Node.js 20.6.1 has been
-// released, so that all CIs using `node:latest` will be using the new version.
