Well, if you really want to name it 0.99, do it. I just thought that
0.99.x would be the stabilizing name where little to no new features
would be added.

No, my idea was to do this for the 1.0 release, to make sure we get a
very stable release out there. Doing this for every release would just
slow down development too much. Just every major release (whatever that
means ;-)

This thing should be rare, so yes, if you want to, just use too
checkouts on your system. I just would like to see a rock solid
1.0.0 - so I'd really like as many developers as possible to focus on
that :-)

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
