+# 2024-11-20:
+# We started getting reports on build timeouts on the platform that were unexpected
+# due to the specific versions on Node.js and npm which had been working fine up until
+# this date. After some extensive digging, we believe we narrowed down the cause to
+# a bug in io_uring that affects the Amazon Linux 2023 release. There is a pending fix
+# which will be released around Dec. 9th but, until then, the workaround is set disable
+# the use of io_uring in libuv.
