I agree. We've decided (I can't seem to find a link to it right now) that 0.4-dev is the "chaos period" when we'll be breaking things frequently. During this period, packages should continue to target 0.3. Once all the major breakages have occurred and we're ready to start stabilizing the master branch, VERSION will be updated to 0.4-pre and we'll work on bugs and stability. 0.4-pre is the earliest point when packages should start targeting the 0.4 branch of Julia.
