I rather like the idea of io.js being a faster moving fork of node. Hopefully a "reconciliation" would mean essentially re-naming the projects to something like "node stable" and "node edge" but maintaining both, since depending on your needs you might choose one or the other.

But that's not what it is. Io.is uses the currently supported version of v8 while node doesn't; so it wins on features AND stability.

  That's not necessarily true. Some of the stability comes from the bindings and interface between v8 and node. So updating v8 could temporarily decrease stability.
