I know it carries other problems. I've never been in favour of releasing 1.0 in this time frame, instead of the When It's Ready time frame. I'd consider When It's Ready a time where, for the _planned_feature_ set, the number of bugs is in the vicinity of zero. No matter what version number abiword is at (0.103.0 for instance). > We've promised to fix this bug in a manner that we've deemed proper and > acceptable as soon as is humanly possible POST 1.0.

This is precisely why we should never release 1.0 with all these problems.
