Again I disagree, but I'll make my argument mainly from a release
engineering perspective.

Its simple:
4.1 exists today, jenkins is kicking the shit out of it, if we made a
good RC it could maybe even pass.
4.0.1 does not yet exist!, i dont really see bugfixes backported to
lucene_solr_4_0_0 branch. If we made a flurry of backports, this would
likely create bugs that 4.1 doesnt have.

so 4.1 will be a more stable, more reliable release for these reasons.
It has nothing to do with how important bugs are or anything. creating
a 4.0.1 from scratch is work that i'm not interested in doing (even as
a bugfixer backporting bugs i have fixed, 4.1 is a more efficient
investment here).

I can help with a 4.1
