I'm not interested in "marketing versions" and my customers have no real idea what symfony is at all.. ;-) For me it doesn't matter if the next release is 1.1 or 1.5 - it only matters what I can do with it. And that is already VERY IMPRESSIVE! If the new helpers / form / validation system is as half as good as the enhancements I've already seen then I will buy 10 books. ;-)
