Installing 11.0.0 complains that Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported

Installing latest node-gyp version 11.0.0 elicits a warning from npm install:

npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported

Can you share the package.json that are installing? I can't reproduce from only installing node-gyp@^11.0.0:

❯ cat package.json
{
  "name": "node-gyp-11",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "node-gyp": "^11.0.0"
  }
}
❯ rm -rf package-lock.json node_modules
❯ npm --version
10.9.2
❯ npm i

Wrong target. Seems the problem is created by node-gyp called by electron-builder:

PS D:\Projects> npm ls rimraf

I close this issue and reopen it for electron-builder asking to upgrade their copy of node-gyp.
Thanks for testing!
