Maybe I'm not understanding the issue correctly, but wouldn't a better solution be to compile from source against the latest release instead of relying on a (relatively) unproven project that is moving at neck-breaking speed?

@SGrondin Compile NodeJS from source? I don't think most people will want to do that. iojs is at least moving. :P

They also have some sort of package thing setup for various platforms (ppa mechanism or whatnot). So we can defer to that in our docs. It's best to use a project is is receiving security updates than one that's not.

Node.js and io.js is getting merged soon. See Node Foundation, so we can probably hold on a little while until that happens.
