It might not work since ESLint's version is mismatched with the standard config

Question

I ran command npx eslint --init. I came across following questions:

? Which style guide do you want to follow? … 
  Airbnb: https://github.com/airbnb/javascript
▸ Standard: https://github.com/standard/standard
  Google: https://github.com/google/eslint-config-google
  XO: https://github.com/xojs/eslint-config-xo

I selected Standard. Then it said:

✔ The style guide "standard" requires eslint@^7.12.1. You are currently using [email protected].
  Do you want to downgrade? · No / Yes

I selected No.

Then I said:

Note: it might not work since ESLint's version is mismatched with the standard config.

Should I be ideally downgrading? Or should I not be using standard style guide altogether?
