I had this written as a response:

But then I got to thinking -- what exactly are we going to be  
targeting with 1.0.x releases, if at all? Just bug fixes?

I spoke about this on IRC with Chris and Elliott and the metric we  
came up with was "serious usability or security issues." Crashing and  
data loss are usability issues. Another, less severe example would be:  
would be the message window input text view not being able to receive  
focus after being minimized. And of course, security issues should  
always be released ASAP.

Thoughts?

p.s. Sorry for spamming you all lately, but with 1.0 coming out  
there's a lot to do and think about, and email is really the only way  
to multicast to everyone on the project.
