How exactly do you expect the software to get from a .0 to a .1 release,

if you aren't helping to test it?
In most environments I've seen, developer and QA systems don't hesitate
to move to .0 releases (or even beta). I agree with Joshua that it's
nerve wracking to move _production_ systems to .0 releases from most
software vendors.
My philosophy is that the final QA environment should be as close to
the production environment as can be arranged, but that difference in
the development and initial test environments contribute to
robustness.
Sorry if I implied otherwise - I was assuming an environment
where QA has multiple environments; one of which clearly
should be the same as production.
