They do differ quite a lot and most production units are using
nodejs-lts (the one we have already as plain nodejs) yet the newer
features are being added to nodejs-stable. While some things may fail on
nodejs-stable everything will work on nodejs-lts.

That's the reason why I see having the two versions of it would be
useful. nodejs-stable is not necessarily the newest, since lts keeps
getting updates, but not new features. (Yet, newer releases tend to be
synced between both versions)
