+      # The version of node-gyp we use depends on distutils but it was removed
+      # in Python 3.12.  It seems to be fixed in the latest node-gyp so when we
+      # next update Node we can probably remove this.  Note that Node >=18.18 no
+      # longer bundles node-gyp and Yarn v1 has a bug when auto-installing it
+      # where it does not run post-install scripts so we will have to add
+      # node-gyp manually to all the steps that install yarn/npm packages when
+      # that time comes.
