I've added the divergent specifier hazard and conditional exports proposal to the agenda for this week as well.

[GeoffreyBooth]

I’m not sure we still need #389 anymore.

[SMotaal]

Wow this is issue #404 😅

[reasonablytall]

I'll be listening, but I'm not in a location where I can speak.

As an update for #351, there hasn't been notable progress except for nodejs/node#29752 which placed loaders behind their own experimental flag, decoupling them from unflagging esm.

To figure out some next steps, I would like to organize an off-band meeting. The design doc is in a decent state, and at the very least the current loader system should be changed to allow multiple loader composition and disallow in-loader module instantiation, as these present major changes to loader designers.

I'm sitting in the zoom waiting for it to start. Is someone hosting the meeting today?
