OK, we have the following viewpoints with supporting reasons:

0.10 - supported by a number of people (reasons: none given, 1.0
should be used for Tool interface support)
1.0 - supported by a number of people (reasons: none given, recent
graduation, due to the incompatible change)

I tilt towards the 1.0 release due to the incompatible changes but I
am not strongly committed to that viewpoint. I am strongly committed
to a release whatever the number! :) It would seem easy enough to vote
on the matter but I think votes can become divisive. I have seen that
in the Hadoop community when voting is used to resolve issues it ends
up much like the state of US politics. As such, I'd prefer to settle
this via discussion.

We have all stated our preferences but not our convictions. Is there
anyone who strongly in favor of / opposed to a 0.10 release? Is there
anyone who is strongly in favor of / opposed to a 1.0 release? If so
please state your reasoning.
