3.28.73 for nodejs 0.12, 4.2.77.13 for iojs.

Looks like rubygem-therubyracer is still on 3.16.  :-(

I don't mind doing a v8-3.14 compat package for a few Fedora releases,
since I'm still going to be maintaining it in EPEL for the forseeable
future anyway...

Not at all, nor has it been ever, nor will it be ever.  Last time I
checked spot didn't even bother separating v8 from chromium anymore,
it's gotten so bad.  :-/

Well the nodejs-* packages are clearly within our SIG, which the
Change policy says is okay for Self-Contained Change.

The v8 changes do affect two other packages, though.  I could adjust
the category of the wiki page, or split out the v8 changes from
io.js/nodejs012 into a v8 systemwide one.  But the change deadline was
yesterday, is this still okay?
