I would say to not worry about the addition of algorithms, and have 1.0 as
being a API/python3/sparse release as Lars said.
I don't think that holding off a big release because it doesn't contain
algorithm X is a good idea, as there are plenty of algorithms we don't have
yet, even important ones (depending on your definition of important).
