I also gave [a talk in November](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3685/presentations/streams2/streams2-ko.pdf) about this subject. A lot of node module authors have been involved with the development of streams2 (and of course the node core team), and at this point, I'm confident that it's an improvement over what we've got. -The first preview release with this change will be 0.9.4.
