You can switch to the mentioned "delayed" mode if you're using pnpm. A few days ago, pnpm 10.16 introduced a minimumReleaseAge setting that delays the installation of newly released dependencies by a configurable amount of time.
A long post, but the final paragraphs sum up both the problem and the ask:
"This was the last attempt to keep core-js as a free open-source project with a proper quality and functionality level. It was the last attempt to convey that there are real people on the other side of open-source with families to feed and problems to solve.
If you or your company use core-js in one way or another and are interested in the quality of your supply chain, support the project."
