That used to be my attitude.  Turns out there are a lot of legitimate
users who cannot (due to company IT policy) or will not use software
at 1.0 and below or in beta.  It's a nice crutch for developers to say
"hey it's in beta so don't count on us not pulling the API rug out
from under you".  We have historically been very cautious about
breaking API, and the code is mature and stable, so the version number
should reflect that in my view.
