mdn browser definition is outdated

[maxired]

Hi,

is seems that the mdn browser definition is outdated and cannot be updated.
From what I understand, this code does not import directly @mdn/browser-compat-data, but uses ast-metadata-inferer as intermediate layer.

The issue is that ast-metadata-inferer is packages with it's own compat.json file, build at release time, with previous version of @mdn/browser-compat-data.
this means that upgrading @mdn/browser-compat-data locally does not solve the issue

seems like this is the reason causing the linter not reporting the Array toReversed toSorted toSpliced methods

Does this mean all browser features added after February 2023 are not being caught at the moment?

I was about to add eslint-plugin-compat to protect against a mistake I made (using toSpliced) but it does not catch it so I feel like the tool is not worth the added complexity for now.

I opened a PR in ast-metadata-inferer here, let's hope it gets merged.

A plugin for linting browser supports should continually update the browser support information, otherwise what's the point
