FWIW I side with Matthias about not wanting 1.0 to be a brown-paper-bag
release, which could happen despite things looking good to us few.  1.0
may see a level of user testing not hitherto experienced; I hope it
does!  But it would be nice if that revealed no embarrassing flaws.

I don't think the time since we added EFS is all that long.  Certainly
we want a couple of months of hammering on transactions before we
decide they're 1.0-solid (and in writing that, let me I emphasize that
I have the greatest respect for all Matthias's work that I've looked
at).

Let's make the 1.0 feature freeze official, if you like, and finish up
the test-and-bugfix phase (I have a bogotune redesign in mind, but that
is definitely 1.2 stuff).

To make just one comparison: linphone, which is more than a year older
than bogofilter (0.1.0 was released 2001-04-19) is now at 1.0.0pre3.
