As with any decision, it will be impossible to please everyone.  I
think the Git vs Subversion talk is way off topic at this point, but
to each his own.

Rich, I think it really depends on what *YOU* want Clojure to be.  If
you want to take a Haskell like approach and "avoid success at all
costs" then I would delay 1.0 for as long as possible.  However, if
you want to bring on wide adoption, which I think you do, then I think
it is *IMPERATIVE* that the front of Stu's book includes the text
"Works for Clojure 1.0".

It is my opinion that if "Programming Clojure" goes to print without
that text Clojure, as a community and a language, loses a lot of
potential users!  It isn't a big deal to bleeding-edge folks like
ourselves, but we are a *MINORITY*.  And a minority is all we will be
if we think in minor terms.

I agree with a lot of what has been said here, but I feel Stu's book
release should be at the top of the list.  It's Clojure's first
impression on the global community of developers, and we all know the
rule about first impressions.

I vote pragmatism, lets get this sucker rolling!
