Upgrade to 1.1.x or 1.2.x?

I believe that many people consider 1.0.x to be hideously ancient.

I believe that many people on this list will be significantly reluctant 
to help you with anything before 1.2.x.

Version 2.0.0 was declared the current release version last Monday (16 
Aug 2010), with the previous current release version before that being 
1.2.13.

I believe that many people on this will not consider "But My Distro 
Provides Version X!" to be a valid excuse. Find a more up-to-date binary 
package, upgrade your distro, install from source; there is always a way.
