The next release for us is 1.0, not 1.1-SNAPSHOT. We haven't had a 1.0 
yet.

This isn't typical for other projects I've been involved with at Apache. 
They typically:

- Do beta and RC work on HEAD
- Once a release is made, create the branch.
- HEAD becomes the workspace for the next release.
- Changes to the release happen on the branch, but no active development 
typically happens there.
