-0 I've said it elsewhere, but the only reason to fuss about a 1.0, is that it is loaded with special meaning. To impart some vague notion of readiness on people who should be paying less attention to a number, and doing more due diligence. Feels like pandering to me, or cargo-culting. I'd rather drop the leading the 0 and continue to number releases sequentially the way we have. If our < 1 versioning is signaling a lack of readiness, and if >= 1 is a necessary gate, then 8.0 should work equally as well. Better in fact, 8 times better! -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com
