Weird dead code in lib/stream.js #30040

Noticed this bit of code in lib/stream.js on the master branch:

const version = process.version.substr(1).split('.');
if (version[0] === 0 && version[1] < 12) {
  Stream._uint8ArrayToBuffer = Buffer;
} else {
  ...

1. Since the code internal in node can only ever be the version that it is, it seems odd to be checking the version in this way.
2. It looks like it's checking for node 0.x < 0.12??
3. Splitting a string returns an array of strings, so version[0] === 0 would always return false even in node 0.11 and before.

I think this can be removed?
