By this formula, Node has been 1.0+ since day one and never broken
backwards compatibility... Its understandable that young projects
hover below 1.0 in order to get a more throughly designed API in place
(and maybe fix/remove API kinks that were bad ideas at one point in
time)... but some would say that 3+ years is kinda pushing that safety
net for such a largely used project...

Essentially anyone familiar with semver would be leery of using Node
for a large scale application with the lack of guarantee in backwards
compatibility (or they should be without better explanation of the
"Node way" of doing things).
