For awhile 'nodejs' was stagnant (0.8.x/0.10.x era) then it got forked
around (0.12.x) and io.js came out, then io.js merged with nodejs... yada
yada things are moving fast now...

For beagleboard.org we've moved from 0.10.x (which we shipped in wheezy) to
0.12.x in jessie just in the last month or to.  We were unable to do the
full jump to v4.x at the time..

By mid summer (2016) i'd like us to be getting things read to move to
'v4.x'  as 'stretch' will ship with that  (unless they jump to the new v6.x
lts released this week)..

While "npm" is a separate project bundled with nodejs..
