Lower or remove Node version requirement for @formatjs/cli-lib

[lassegit]

Which package?

@formatjs/cli-lib

Describe the bug

Since version 5 @formatjs/cli isn't dependent on Vue packages requiring a minimum Node version to work, thus rendering formatjs/cli does not respect @vuejs/core's engines.node >= 16.5.0 requirement #3602 obsolete. Can we lower the Node engine required to say 14.x or completely remove it? I reckon lot of projects are using lower version than 16.5 and then they can't benefit from the upgrade (which removed a lot of unneeded Vue dependencies).

compiler-sfc doesn't specify any particular Node version.

Edit: Just updated this issue to be about @formatjs/cli-lib and not @formatjs/cli.

@longlho What do you say? :)

[longlho]

technically we can lower it but we don't test against 14.x so there's no guarantee it actually works.

[lassegit]

In that case it makes sense, just unsure the percentage still using lower than version 16. But maybe not so many.

@lassegit I think if this change is harmless, we should get rid of the engine requirement. I'm personally still on v14 due to certain constraints and cannot use this package because of that.

Hearing engine requirement is there because of vue packages in the past, while being on react is somewhat frustrating. Having said that I would greatly appreciate it if you consider removing the engine requirement from the cli package. Thanks!
