Ok, I was mostly trying to get a feeling for whether the timing of the
release was important, or whether we would release it once we had hit a
certain feature-complete milestone.

Don't think so...

Time-based releases make a lot of sense when we have people depending on
us, as part of a development framework.  If there ever is a
freedesktop.org platform, then I think it makes the most sense to fit in
with that.

As for 1.0, I don't think a time-based release makes a lot of sense.  I
mean, we can keep doing time-based 0.x releases forever.  We shouldn't
call something 1.0 until we're ready for it.  (Although sense might
dictate otherwise... subversion was 0.x for several years when it
probably could have sanely called itself 1.0, and that has hurt its
adoption, IMO.)
