Quoting Kenneth Porter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

That's fine for isolated users supporting only themselves. But it won't
win any mind share in the boardroom. If you want widespread deployment
to get proper testing (and hence a larger user base) you need a version
number that gives business people the confidence to install it.
Otherwise you'll be limited to avant garde hobbyists who have nothing
to risk.

While, is there really no one between the boardroom and the avant garde
hobbyists?  I didn't realize there was such a void between those levels...

Once 1.0 locks down, you should see a huge expansion of users. Bug

Yes, well, of course.  We all know that already.

fixes (not features!) in 1.0.1 will see further expansion. Any new
features (like the recent addition of the wiki to the tarball) should
be in the scary and experimental 1.1, not 1.0.

That is simply documentation, not really a feature.  And it is actually
fairly normal to add and refine documentation during a RC release.

I agree in general with the "no more features" requests, but docs are
really a whole different thing.  Most shops are working on the docs
right up to the last minute for every release.
