walmart and a few others did this with node back in the 0.10 days, except iirc it was them that was holding up node at that version. iirc when iojs forked off, they had a much faster release schedule, and then at some point rejoined the main node project which then proceeded at a much faster rate.

Was it also nike and paypal? I remember it being walmart and some others that were big champions of node in the beginning.

yeah sorry about that, thats just off the top of my head. it was a wild time for me, so the events happening at the time coincided with me reading about the whole debacle live as iojs was happening.
