Always best to, just in case I believe socket.io will need to rebuild its binaries.

Hi Julian, Thanks for the reply, It means in future ,for PRODUCTION we should not use 'stable' or any other taged branches(except v0.x.x). We should always go for v0.x.x taged branches for PRODUCTION. Is it right? How we can identify that which tag we can use for PRODUCTION? Is there any way to do that? Thanks!!

Yes, this is a fantastic idea! Whoever created the package manager and ACP page should totally do this ... what? What do you mean it's me? Edit: Please add your suggestions here
