There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'd reword this a little so people won't think buf.toString('latin-1') is a thing.
When v8 implemented proper one-byte string support Node's internal "binary" encoding implementation was removed in favor of it. The result was that "binary" encoding effectively became "latin-1" encoding. Because of this and because one-byte strings are natively supported by v8 the buffer encoding is not deprecated and will not be removed. Ref: 83261e7 "deps: update v8 to 3.17.13"
