Should we release 0.71.16?

[lunaleaps]

Current Release: 0.71.15

Conversations on this thread are limited:

• major release issues.
• qualified cherry-pick requests of commits on main that did not make the previous patch version.

Please include a link to the specific commit on main to be cherry-picked, for example: facebook/react-native@bd2b7d6

In other words, if you cannot point to a particular commit on main, then your request likely belongs as a new issue.
If the issue is a major release issues, please reference the issue here.

There are merge conflicts on this pick for Hermes. I'd recommend the original requester make a PR against Hermes rn/0.71-stable and work with the original author to land before we pick it into 0.71.

Commented with this approach here: #87 (reply in thread)

Let's release without this pick for now as it isn't a release regression
