I don't think it's an indicator of quality. But "enterprise readiness" (whatever that means) which is what Rob the random commenter was talking about in his comment, seems silly on a runtime that is below version 1.0 Yes npm is 1.4.4, but node is 0.10.25. So an expectation of ANYTHING being "production ready" on a non-production ready runtime seems fraught. I get that nodejs is high quality and it is run in production all over the place (I myself run it, and even meteor in production applications). But I understand there are risks and it's a fast moving target.
