Yes, that's why I posted the followup, explaining that I meant "as of v0.10, streams are going to remain backwards compatible". Meaning, streams3 is mostly indistinguishable from streams2, except that it fixes some of the irregularity and some weird edge cases, and is faster. When I speak in the present-tense about Node, I usually mean "The version that hasn't been released yet" (ie, v0.12). When most people speak in the present tense about Node, they mean "The stable branch that came before the current release" (ie, v0.8). It's all about where your head's at.
