Description

Config `import/recommended` has a hardcoded `parserOptions.ecmaVersion` of 2018

This has the side effect of not being able to parse my `eslint.config.mjs` which uses nullish coalescing (Unless I override with `languageOptions.ecmaVersion = latest` )

Is there a technical reason for not setting it to `latest` (which is currently the ESLint default)?

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of the `import/recommended` configuration and inspect how it sets `parserOptions.ecmaVersion`. Check the relevant ESLint configuration behavior for `latest`, then verify that an `eslint.config.mjs` using nullish coalescing parses without an override. Done means the recommended config no longer blocks this syntax, with existing configuration behavior preserved.
