Is there going to be `nodejs` nonversioned package? I hope it will. The
version numbers are annoying.
Going from the various "why has node blown up" threads in the past is that trying has failed multiple times. Too many API changes and other items saying they worked before but do not afterwards.
Also, it seems that you assume that nodejs- packages will work just fine
with different versions of Node.js, then what is the point of having
multiple versions of Node.js around? Why not have just latest?
