+### Notable changes
+
+Node.js 12.16.0 included large update to the ESM implementation in the 12.x release stream.
+One of the new features, Self Referential Modules, accidentally was released not behind the
+`--experimental-modules` flag. This release is being made specifically to appropraitely flag
+the feature which is not yet ready to be release on LTS.
