thanks for your work

about cinnamon upstream there is a big work in progress to rebase muffin 
(after over ten years) and I hope that will be possible conclude in 
these months for the next cinnamon version.

I doubt that they do a rebase of cjs too recently, unless the maintainer 
of some other distro does it, such as the one of fedora. now upstream 
are preparing new version of them distro (mint) based on bullseye after 
Jammy (next ubuntu LTS) will be released will do also newer mint that 
use it. Something that can help to make cjs rebase more probable in 
shorter time I suppose is include mozjs91 in Jammy.

I don't have enought time to prepare myself the cjs rebase but when 
there will be a draft of it I'll help to test it (if I'll have time) and 
doing testing build to make easy/fast test it also for other users
