I meant when will they update it so that you can use the new version of Node without hacking the buildpack. >To change the vendored binaries for Node.js, NPM, and SCons, use the helper scripts in the support/ subdirectory. You'll need an S3-enabled AWS account and a bucket to store your binaries in. I don't want to mess with that, I'd rather wait for Heroku to update so I can change one line in my package.json.

I'm beginning to wonder if Heroku is going to bother with this any time soon. The default version is _still_ 0.4.7 [1] and personally I'm starting to feel the pressure to update, especially considering recent performance improvements.
