Hello Srikanth, Excellent point. I think everyone is in favor of API stability and versioning irrespective of 1.0 or not, however I suspect it may mean different things for different people(e.g. backward incompatible?). I think it will be useful to have that discussion again in open to bring everyone on same page. Would you like to start a discuss thread with summary of your thoughts?
