I'd prefer
- change nodejs to build its v8 as a shared lib, and provide it
it makes sense because upstream nodejs do all the work of keeping ABI
stability,
I admit I do not fully understand what you mean by
- bundle it - nodejs bundles it
(sounds similar to what you write above.
I think the "take over maintenance and distribute it" has no real future
considering that an RC bug in libv8 did not even received an answer. I
guess the reason for this is that you have other things to play with. ;-)

What about experimental for the moment?
Kind regards
