I (respectfully) disagree on having to be "perfect" in these areas for
our 0.1 release.

In my view this is clearly a "release early, release often" release.

As long as people can experiment with it on a reasonable number of use
cases, and hopefully give us feedback, doing the release (with all
required disclaimers about alpha quality) has value.

Having open issues like TIKA-56, for example, is fine IMHO. They are
just that: open issues that will hopefully be fixed before the next
release, but don't prevent people from experimenting with Tika 0.1.
