This is a regression because it worked just fine in the past on older versions.

Thanks for the quick reply Christian. I converted my config to the mjs format and I am good to go now.
I experienced some additional pain getting the file to lint though, which I will document here:
"!.remarkrc.mjs"to theignorePatternssection of my.eslintrc.jsfile, because ESLint will explicitly ignore hidden files by default. (This is necessary even if you put.remarkrc.mjsin theincludesection of yourtsconfig.eslint.jsonfile.)extraFileExtensions: [".mjs"],to theparserOptionssection of my.eslintrc.jsfile, because ESLint refuses to parse mjs files otherwise.Yes, this issue appears to be resolved now in the latest versions of everything, thanks again wooorm.
