There are no unstable or stable versions. Most of the releases are more
unstable than current CVS because they are just a snapshot of it.
Besides that everything below 1.0 should be considered a development or
testing release.
I think rushing to 0.9.0 will require alot of 0.9.x versions
because 1.0 is far out of reach considering the features and level of
stability needed. Personally I don't care if we just skip some 
MICRO/PATCH versions of the 0.8.x and go straight to 0.9.x but I don't
see why the 0.9 branch should have a decent amount of additional
releases compared to 0.8.x.
