A (non-binding). FWIW: Stuart brought me off the fence. If the first 1.0.x release is 1.0.5 then under semantic versioning guidelines this would mean 5 releases of the bundle at previous micro numbers have already passed which might cause users some confusion, or cause them to ask for an explanation. This confusion persists for ever more. The number of people seeing this admittedly lesser kind of confusion will likely be far greater than the people who use the RC artifacts from a staging repo, who should know better.
