It seems to be the issue is a little more than "more frequent releases" but is instead more about the poor stewardship of Node.js by Joyent. It seems to be about increasing transparency and openness instead of just tracking v8 more closely. Between io.js and node-forward it seems to be working. Hopefully things like the node advisory board are just one step in Joyent being a better steward.
