I don't think you have to worry about a rushed 1.0. If you check the archives of the dev list, you'll see that even getting 0.95 out there took some serious discussions. Essentially, for a long time, the last official release had been 0.91 (ie before magic-removal), but probably 90% of people on the lists were just running out of SVN trunk, to get the magic-removal stuff. People were starting to report managerial issues, namely, their managers didn't want them releasing web pages that were running out of Subversion code. If no one had complained, I'll bet we *still* wouldn't have 0.95 (or at least, it would have been a *very* recent thing). 1.0 certainly won't come before it's ready, with the code being solid. Of course, that's just me spouting my mouth off.
