If you want to guarantee a stable streams base, regardless of what version of
Node you, or the users of your libraries are using, use **readable-stream** *only* and avoid the *"stream"* module in Node-core, for background see [this blogpost ](http://r.va.gg/2014/06/why-i-dont-use-nodes-core-stream-module.html ).
