Comes from [New installs will default to Ember CLI builds in Production - #36 by david](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-installs-will-default-to-ember-cli-builds-in-production/208282/36)

Hi Team,

While trying setting `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS` to `1`, I’m getting the following at the time of precompiling assets (version `2.9.0.beta2` commit: `d2de058ff51f204fcf85c86a00750a59505af3bb`):

```bash
yarn run v1.22.17
$ /var/www/discourse/app/assets/javascripts/node_modules/.bin/ember build -prod
WARNING: Node v16.13.2 is not tested against Ember CLI on your platform. We recommend that you use the most-recent "Active LTS" version of Node.js. See https://git.io/v7S5n for details.
DEPRECATION: The integration of jQuery into Ember has been deprecated and will be removed with Ember 4.0. You can either opt-out of using jQuery, or install the `@ember/jquery` addon to provide the jQuery integration. Please consult the deprecation guide for further details: https://emberjs.com/deprecations/v3.x#toc_jquery-apis

Any hint about why this is happening?
