  ls -l /usr/local/bin/node
  lrwxr-xr-x  1 502  staff  4 Jan 13 20:10 /usr/local/bin/node -> iojs
Is this necessary?

Yes, lots of packages depend on "the JavaScript executable" being called node. Discussion: https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/43

Yes, I've watched some of the io.js minutes on YouTube and they basically reached a consensus that this was definitely necessary. They want to be a drop in replacement for Node.js.
