I dunno, a lot of big players are using node in production, and the back-compat's getting reasonable. Why does the number when you type -v matter?

I think that's the opposite of what Node needs. All of these third party modules came about precisely because there's no blockers or infrastructure to getting started with extending Node. The documentation for some of these modules could definitely be better, but I don't think having a central authority imposing upon the community is a good solution.

The reason SO is so huge is precisely because users of pretty much anything will always have problems. Node is not, and never will be, an exception.
