When and if a clear winner arises from userland, if it can be merged
into core without breaking backwards compatibility, then we can
consider it. You and I have had that conversation before, and I'm
sure we'll keep having it :)

Yes, I expect that we'll see interesting things by exposing the
continuation-tracking mechanisms and making Domains less baked-in.

Lots of people are doing this now. (Walmart, stackvm, Joyent, and the
npm website all come to mind.)

Currently that is called "StrongLoop Node Distribution". This is a
paradigmatic example of what "userland" is for.

Yes, that is fine. It is a subset of the new functionality. In 0.10,
using `on('data')` triggers a permanent switch to
pause()/resume()/on('data') mode. In v0.12, adding a data listener
starts the flow, but it's not a permanent modal switch. Streams3 is
thus a relatively straightforward refinement of the intent of
streams2.
