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.
