+
+The “patch the source” approach is in progress and seems promising, and could be
+better overall than a “mutate the exports” solution. The patch approach will
+need to be used for old versions of Node.js anyway so it might not make much
+sense to add a new API to enable a mutation alternative, especially if the patch
+approach can be made more performant (such as by having patched files already
+available on disk, rather than patching on the fly). Bryan and Ayan will
+investigate. If a new API is desired, it probably won’t involve any breaking 
+changes to existing APIs and therefore the hooks API should be okay to go stable 
+soon.

+
+The deadlock might be avoidable if we change the first argument of `register`
+from being any specifier to instead only be a relative or absolute URL. So
+anyone doing `register(‘foo’)` today would need to change that to 
+`register(import.meta.resolve(‘foo’))`, but we think this might fix the deadlock.
