The newly released 2.2.1 version of the @vscode/test-electron package requires node >= 16, but the readme still says Node >= 12.x.

Will this requirement be loosened, or should projects either upgrade to Node 16 or pin vscode/test-electron to 2.2.0?

Projects should upgrade to Node 16. This is the version that VS Code runs in its extension host, so being on that version would ensure a consistent environment and avoid surprises.

Node 12 is also end of life and no longer receives security updates.

Node 14 is still under LTS maintenance, though, and dropping support for it in a patch release wasn't ideal 😕
