Description

Describe in the CONTRIBUTING > Version Updates document section that Alpine Linux new releases become the new default version for each active Node.js release line.

The previous statement that the latest two Alpine Linux releases are used is expanded for additional clarity.

Motivation and Context

Undocumented past practice has been to promote each latest Alpine Linux release to default.

Alpine Linux Release Branches states:

There are several release branches for Alpine Linux available at the same time. Each May and November we make a release branch from edge. The main repository is typically supported for 2 years and the community repository is supported until next stable release.
