"It is important to note that from all appearances, the io.js people made their decision based on Joyent's overly heavy-handed, slow-boating, increasingly corporate approach, which can also easily be seen from the Node "Foundation" member list: IBM, Walmart, Microsoft, Paypal, etc.
So in essence to evade the very thing you decry in your post. There was a pretty good HN thread about it the other day. I know you don't like links posted in comments, so search HN for "Joyent Moves to Establish Node.js Foundation".
Some movement forward, like moving faster toward new version of V8, as well as support of "new" ES6 standards are just necessary, given the fast moving overall picture with Golang, Scala, et al. in the server-side race. But I don't get the feeling that io.js is interested in breaking everyone's modules on NPM, so nearly everything should stay backwards compatible.
You could ask @indutny about it on Twitter."
