Long story short - we will work to make node.js an optional build time component and leave it as an distro packaging issue. node.js was being evaluated as a potential solution to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/realtime-communication, but that blueprint isn't targeted for Folsom, so it's very future. We'll have a lot of time to evaluate python based alternatives.
