I disagree. I think that 1.0 should be created immediately as a copy of 0.93R6, and put into public view. 1.0 is going to be our bleeding edge release, and we want adventurous people to come and test it and report the bugs. This will help us find the integration problems &c before we have the whole user community jumping on us. It'll also make it much easier when we want to release it - we can just repoint a few symlinks, rather than upset all the mirrors again. I agree with Ian--putting the debian-1.0 tree under private makes it difficult for it to double as our bleeding edge a.out distribution. (If we had a separate a.out bleeding edge tree, I'd agree with Bruce. I'm not sure what we've decided to do about it.)
