io.js (the actively-maintained Node.js fork) is shipping their first alpha 
on 2015-01-12, i.e. in four days. They were planning on shipping with V8 
3.31.74.1, 
but the recent reversion of classes has them worried that shipping classes 
to their community would be a bad move. I would expect a large number of 
people to start downloading and using this alpha, probably not in 
production, but certainly for the creation of reusable code that may have a 
decent shelf-life.

What should they be doing here? Can they count on a new 3.32 release being 
cut soon, that they can use to avoid shipping classes? Is 3.31.74.1 OK? 
Other options?

Relatedly, last time I had a conversation about what V8 versions Node/iojs 
should be using, it turned out there was some confusion. I asked for a 
guideline for what versions embedders should be using to be written up, but 
I don't think it happened. Could we do that, regardless?
