Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line,
remark-lint-no-duplicate-definitions@4,
compatible with Node.js 16.
