Description

There are a ways to know which version of Corepack is ship or not ship with nodejs ? Like for npm version.

Apparently not. @richardlau, when was Corepack introduced? We can make an if statement to not render this to versions it is known for not being supported. Or should we remove the mention from corepack in the meanwhile until the TSC has an agreement on whether we should or should not have it there? Cc @nodejs/tsc

According to the links from nodejs/node#39608 16.9.0 and 14.9.0. It's not available in any version of Node.js 13.x and below.
I'd prefer not to mention it until its future is decided. The pre-redesign website doesn't mention it.Reacted by Ruy Adorno, Claudio Wunder and Benjamin GruenbaumI'd prefer not to mention it until its future is decided
Thats my preference as well.
Reacted by Augustin Mauroy, Claudio Wunder, Geoffrey Booth and Benjamin Gruenbaumcc @nodejs/nodejs-website feel free to make a PR (or @ruyadorno) cc @nodejs/tsc for awareness.
I've removed the Corepack mention for the time being, until the TSC decides the future of Corepack.

How to reproduce the issue:
In the redesign it looks like the download page unconditionally includes the string "and corepack":
nodejs.org/pages/en/download/package-manager/current.mdx
Line 14 in 0e15186
This means the string is always present, even if you select a really old version of Node.js e.g. v8.17.0.
AFAIK there is currently no quick way of determining if an arbitrary release of Node.js includes corepack short of looking at the source for the version or unpacking one of the archives. Corepack is not indexed in
index.json/index.taband is unlikely to be while it is experimental.
