It is not about compatibility, it is about being logical.

The above sentence is the kind of complexity I am talking about.

If I want to use a UDP socket, I don't need to manually add a UdpSocketFactory.
 It is provided in the "internet stack".  Like wise, if I wanted to use a
packet socket, it should be provided by the "node stack".  It just turns out
that "node stack" == Node.
