Re: [Dovecot] Is it 1.0 yet?

There is absolutely no reason to rush 1.0 forward, because the label bears no significance whatsoever about quality, and even less is the code base as such impressed by such external "declaration of stability".

Not that I'm in a hurry for this, but I'd argue that there might be a reason to rush 1.0, which would be to encourage more work on 1.1.

So, while most people seem to want 1.0 "so that they can run a stable version," I'd say that getting 1.0, counterintuitivly, will actually make the 1.0.x release tree less stable, because more effort would go into new features in 1.1.
