99.99% of Node.js users don't interact with the core platform, so the Ayo.js team is going to have to stick to their guns for quite a while if they're going to see any benefit to this move.
Until there's enough of an accumulative technical advantage to using their version, most people are going to completely ignore it. Almost no one actually used io.js in production, it was mostly a vehicle for the PoC of using the latest V8 engine.
That being said, Node.js steering has been completely taken over by IBM and Samsung, through their thinly veiled use of StrongLoop and Joyent. Anything that shakes that up even a little is A-ok in my book.
