do you have any ideas on the lifetime of 0.9 (and 1.0 if it'll be a drop in replacement)?
The goal is that 1.0 won't make any breaking API changes from 0.9 and its release cycle will be 4-6 weeks after whatever the last 0.9 point release is.
Basically, 1.0 will simply be the marker that the 0.9 line has reached maturity and we're locking the API there for a longer portion of time. We're trying to avoid any breaking changes between 0.9 and 1.0.
