Can not install redis on node 16.14.2 because @redis/[email protected] requires node >=18

Description

Currently I cannot install redis because of @redis/client dependency . yarn is throwing error because the node version is not compatible. Currently I am on node 16.14.2. I just checked @redis/[email protected] requires "engines": { "node": ">=14" } and now @redis/[email protected] requires "engines": { "node": ">=18" } .... Thats major 4 versions difference. Can some explain why ?

There was a conversation on discord about this.
A fast resume:
Node16 EOL was declared by node team 10 days ago so now LTS/minimum is node 18, however this should have been a minor release and not a patch release
