io.js is an npm compatible platform originally based on Node.js™ that supports
version 6 of the ECMAScript standard and additional features, developed with an
open governance model. io.js will be offered as an optional replacement for
`/usr/bin/node` on Fedora systems as a Technology Preview. node.js will remain
the default implementation of `/usr/bin/node` in Fedora 23.
== Detailed Description ==
io.js is an npm compatible platform originally based on Node.js™ that supports
version 6 of the ECMAScript standard and additional features, developed with an
open governance model. For more information about io.js and the differences
between node.js, visit the io.js website.
io.js will support the same set of binary modules currently supported by
node.js on Fedora. It is expected to be obsoleted by a future version of the
`nodejs` package, as these two projects have announced their intention to merge.
We will support both parallel-installation of the iojs interpreter alongside
the existing node.js interpreter, and permit replacement of `/usr/bin/node`
with io.js in an additional package. All existing noarch nodejs-* packages will
work with both interpreters. (Though obviously you'll have to specify iojs if
you haven't installed it the /usr/bin/node support package.) Seperate nodejs-*
and iojs-* will be provided for binary modules.
Why are we even bothering with this when io.js is merging back into
node.js so from what I can see is that io.js won't really be around
for much longer

Exactly my thoughts. Plus also introducing another v8 package because of
that?
