That 0.20 is not 1.0 quality, no matter how hard people want to believe it is true.
Allen, my question was, "regardless of the naming" should we try to merge all of the 0.20-based security patches to a branch in Apache's subversion?
As for the naming, the major release number does not make a claim about quality or features, but rather about compatibility. 1.0 would presumably be the lowest quality and least featured release in the 1.x series, but everything in that series should be API compatible with 1.0. Every release in the 2.x series might not be compatible with 1.0. Point releases add features, dot releases add quality. So 1.0.1 would only improve quality, while 1.1.0 would add features while maintaining compatibility.
