Hi François, I fully agree with you, even though I fear that some people might be frightened of BC breaks. Wouldn't a version called "1.5" be a good compromise ? Other successful open-source projects have used this number for major improvements (Mozilla Firefox, for instance). As the so-called "Symfony 1.1" is not a revolution of Symfony's core, keeping the major number "1" sounds to me the best solution.
