Node don’t want to push a specific version to the latest/stable channel, because if they do, then when they bump from version N to N+1, it could cause unexpected behaviour for developers who expected to be on N. So they have tracks for N, N-1 and N-2, the supported releases, and N+1 in the latest/edge channel for adventurous users.
have implemented the channel map, allowing users to view which releases are where
The logic that we are planning to enforce for showing non-stable releases will mean that latest/<risk> versions will be displayed over versions in any different tracks.
**The question is:**
Do we want Node, and other publishers, to decide what track is displayed the store as a default if they do not want to use latest?
