Unlikely to happen. NodeJS has gone the enterprise way, which is to say that from now on it'll only receive bug/security fixes. It'll stay at the v8 version it is at today, so no new JavaScript features will be added to it (ie. no ES6/7). That's fine, apparently some people prefer that. Everybody else can switch to io.js and enjoy regular updates.
