Is node.js falling behind again?

Hi all,I need to vent some frustration. Do you guys remember io.js? and why it was created? Exactly! it was created cause they felt that nodejs was not doing a good job at staying current. Now, in frontend js, es6 modules are getting more and more common place, if you can life without IE support, that is. And since Node is based on V8, and Chrome uses V8, and supports ES6 Modules since version 61 then why is it not supported yet in Node? Its already there! Aren't they just over complicating things to try to mix ES6 and Common.js modules? why not keep 2 seperate module loaders for a while, and show a deprication warning when using a common.js module? and why have a special file extention for ES6 modules at all?! It all just seems wierd...*shigh* Well, thanks for reading my rant and feel free to give me your 2 cents, maybe my head is not bolted on straight today
