1) node will support harmony generators the second they are stable in v8. 
The language evolves with v8, node doesn't touch it.

2) To my knowledge, node-fibers is a fork of node with patches to both node 
and v8 to enable fibers. So you can't just run node, you have to run 
node-fibers.

3) I think it would be very easy to paint yourself into a corner here. But 
there are lots of abstractions on top of fibers that could possibly be 
implemented later with generators instead. Keep in mind that when you dig 
into the details, fibers seem to allow deeper semantic changes in node than 
the version of generators in harmony. I'm not the best person to explain 
the difference, but I've understood enough of the talk to know they are not 
equivalent paradigms. Generators enable a subset of functionality that 
fibers does.

Hope this helps.
