But 1.0 doesn't have to mean the end of the end. It could simply represent a fairly stable release with the majority of longstanding issues fixed-i.e. the original goals of core in a stable platform, not that we're anywhere close anyway. If people never released a 1.0 until software was perfect, nothing would ever leave beta. There's always room to improve, and besides, I think people are too hung up over the number anyway.
