Not necessarily just that comment, the post in general gives me a new found respect for them. They are opinionated, and have a clear focus for what they want to do, and would rather do it in a way they feel is the right way than cave into pressure from big players to do it the 'safe' way. I don't think Bruno, by extension Yahoo, wants node.js to compromise what makes it great, but it definitely isn't tested and it takes balls for Joyent to invest so heavily on evented I/O for V8.
