I'd go with 1.2 ... if you skip 2.0 to avoid name confusion, what will you do
when Ruby 2.0 does hit the streets and you want to start working towards
feature compatiblity with it?

JRuby's likely to always have 1.8, 1.9 and eventually 2.0 features all in the same codebase, since it's not especially hard to do so. So I don't think we'll be tracking Ruby's version numbers in any way, but we may want to avoid the 2.0 moniker. I dunno, it's a toss up. Some of the work planned for this next cycle is going to be pretty invasive...and there may be backward-incompatible fixes to Java integration. That says 2.0 to me.
