I'm right there with Zooko. I'd say we should release darcs 1.1.0 (or darcs 1.10.0?) now. darcs2 still has a few known regressions, and it's got a *huge* amount of new code in it. As much as I'd like to get more testers for darcs2, darcs1 is a better bet for those for whom darcs already works fine, who are working on mission-critical repositories, and who just want bugfixes (and 6.8 compatibility). Unfortunately, the new GADT static checking doesn't (yet) extend over all of darcs, so while it's been very useful, it doesn't help at all with the high-level code that defines darcs commands.
