You mean 1.2.0 (BTW, SDL 1.1.8 is declared stable too).
The problem is:

a) many applications in cooker still wants the 1.1.X and aren't
tested with 1.2.0. We can see if everything recompiles with a full 1.2.0
(but see with Warly) for that.

b) other application you don't have the binaries (see Commercial
CD), still needs the 1.1.X (e.g. mtv).

A solution would be to provide both 1.1.8 and 1.2.0 libraries (our
libSDL<major> allows it, and let the applications use the library needed, but of 
course we have
to decide which SDL development version include by default (i.e. which headers, static 
libraries, etc.)
for developing.
