Happened with node via io.js back in the day too

Hadn't heard of io.js before but from reading up on it it seems to be a unique case since they had the explicit goal of merging back into node eventually.

Can't really find what the main benefits of io.js are though...

It actually had developers. It was a political move by the devs against joynet who were refusing to give up full control of nodejs.
