The 1.X series are the development releases with six week alpha/beta
periods, the 1.0X branch is for upgrades to the stable release.

That said, as a desktop distro it makes more sense for Mandrake to
follow the 1.X branch, as the stable branch really means having a stable
APIs for embedders (AOL on MacOS) and repackagers (i.e. Netscape 7).
It's designed to guarantee minimum changes and is therefore less likely
to break things API-wise. 

I also assume Galeon etc. are following the 1.X releases, so it makes
sense for Mandrake to package the same.
