It's kind of like when a kid has something taken away for being an asshole, the apologies and promises come quick and fast but you know they are disingenous.

I can't imagine Joyent doing anything in good-faith, they are scared of losing relevancy and are looking to protect their interests, they don't give a flying cow about anything else but themselves.

This would not have happened if io.js was not on the scene, call me cynical but I don't trust them.

They bought Node on the off-chance it would be as big a cultural phenomenon as Rails, and they would own it and have control, rather than losing their golden blessing to Engine Yard back in the day.

What golden blessing would that be?
The "Official Ruby on Rails Hosting Provider", that they had back in the day, before it went to Engine Yard.
