OpenOCD can *NEVER* be "1.0" in that there will always be a non-trivial
effort required on the developers side to get things working.

I'd say that 0.9 is as finished as a hardware debugger will ever be if
it is to be anything like remotely current w.r.t. hardware out there.

So, I vote for 0.7 :-)
