Whatever release we do first is likely to be an alpha release to show a healthy and active community and focus on non-technical issues towards graduating from the incubator.
I actually think that it is relatively important for the long-term future of the project. While we may cut an "alpha" release with no guarantees about api stability, having a stable api will significantly improve future impression of the product as well as reduce future compatibility issues. Having a smaller number of future api changes gives credence to the product's maturity and suitability for use. We surely can take time to do both this and the apache requirements. regards, -Mike
