Nobody's forcing you to upgrade. If you want twice as much time
between upgrading, just wait for 1.2.
Currently 1.0 branch is still less stable then 0.8, i still get OOM on
some nodes. Adding 1.1 feature set on top will make it less stable.
It's also worth noting that waiting for 2x as many features for freeze
will result in MORE than 2x as much complexity for tracking down
regressions.
Then make releases from 2 branches - stable and dev. Its common practice
used in lot of software projects.
I really don't see why anyone would feel forced to upgrade just because a new
version is available.
you will get less likely bugfixes if new branch comes out. Also client
libraries needs some time to catch release.
