The next release will almost certainly be written as "1.0". Making releases isn't a trivial thing. Along with the stabilisation period prior to a release, there's the implicit "end-of-life" impact on older releases: 0.91 would no longer be in the security updates path. 0.96 users would no longer get the benefit of "new in development version" markers in the documentation (which is how a 0.96 user can tell that the next bit of documentation doesn't apply to them, but they can otherwise use the current documentation, with all the updates and fixes it includes). Everybody has to think about doing the upgrade dance. It's a lot of work to make a release and has wide impact, both good and bad. So we're focusing on making 1.0 the next "big impact" point. Yes, it's not always going to be convenient for people as the gap between the last release and trunk gets ever-wider. That's a problem on every project. If you want to release stuff that works for everybody in circumstances like that, you're unfortunately going to have to think about having two versions for a while. Developing software has these sorts of problems. We all realise that and there's no solution that suits everybody. Bear with us for a bit as we work towards 1.0. Trust me on this: the maintainers want to get it out the door as much as you do.
