Why do you think that a 0.x version reflects immaturity? I guess this paradigm comes from the commercial software world...
Not really. Commercial software never starts at anything below 1.0 anyway. But the 1.0 version is a way of marking that the basic goals of the software have been achieved, that it does what it is meant to do and not only half of it, that it is sufficiently bug-free to be presentable in good company, that kind of thing. 1.0 for software is like the 18th birthday for humans; it carries a symbolical value.
