Hi,

to update node-eslint-plugin-flowtype, I need
eslint/lib/rules/no-unused-expressions which is provided by eslint 7

Cheers,

Please update to version 8, which supports private fields [1].  The
version currently in sid cannot even parse a file in which a private
field appears (it prints "Parsing error: Unexpected character '#'" and
exits), so it is unusable.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Tityron,

Quoting Tityron (2022-01-23 12:11:35)

Upgrading eslint involves packaging additional modules so is likely to
take longer.  Possibly a limited set of changes can be cherry-picked in
the interim.

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.
