Unless it's changed recently, dropping in various versions of V8 are pretty safe in node. The V8 team doesn't change APIs that often, and usually it's adding new APIs, not breaking existing ones. I've never heard of v8-i18n, so I don't know how well that tracks. I would hope it's API compatible Otherwise the library isn't near as useful.
