3. It’s technically more work to maintain multiple projects
It's only more work if you haven't picked one. There haven't been a lot of people working on joyent/node over the last while, but there has been a growing crowd working on iojs. It seems to me that iojs is actually _less_ work than joyent/node because the barrier to entry is so much lower.
Not sure if I agree that everyone wants a single Node (Isaac's first point), but I agree with most of the points. That said, I don't know that we will get to reunification. :/

Only if you're not already the "in crowd", right? I mean... if you have commit rights, it's the same...
