If I may pitch in briefly here, believe it or not, there is a lot of enterprises out there whom think that anything that isn't version 1.0 isn't worth considering, let alone deploying (doesn't make sense, but some people are like that). Hence, from a market adoption point of view, Apache Hadoop is currently hindered by that. So unless we think Hadoop isn't operationally ready yet (which I think we agree isn't the case), the sooner we adopt the 1.0 labeling the better, as we all want to see Hadoop adopted in more and more places.

My 2 cents,

Right. I'm proposing we make a 1.0 release that tries to match what folks are actually using in production and clarifies what APIs may be relied upon to be stable going forward.
