It's kind of like when a kid has something taken away for being an asshole, the apologies and promises come quick and fast but you know they are disingenous. I can't imagine Joyent doing anything in good-faith, they are scared of losing relevancy and are looking to protect their interests, they don't give a flying cow about anything else but themselves. This would not have happened if io.js was not on the scene, call me cynical but I don't trust them. They bought Node on the off-chance it would be as big a cultural phenomenon as Rails, and they would own it and have control, rather than losing their golden blessing to Engine Yard back in the day.
