I think that's agreed clearly: 1.0.x will get a last release and go
into "support only" mode.
This mode means we'll not add features, and not port it to python >
2.5. We'll only do bug fixes and security fixes.

Chris is dead right here: any person running 1.0 in production will be
strongly invited to go for 1.1. Why ? Because the 1.1 branch has shiny
new defaults but is a real continuation of 1.0 without any breaking
change and upgrading from 1.0 is as simple as doing "easy_install -U".

Concerning the goals, we need to be realistic: TW will (hopefully) be
for 1.5, Genshi is here as a default, SA is here as the default. This
is the good time for a release. Appart from a really compelling
argument against a release I'll go on with:
  - a 1.0.6 release and declare this branch "support only"
  - a 1.1 feature freeze + beta1 release ASAP
  - a 1.1 stable quite quick after the beta cycle if we don't get too
much bad errors popping-out.

I would like to shift most of the 1.x work force to the 1.5 branch as
soon as possible and avoid dispersion of our efforts across 3 branches
:)

Florent.
