	If I may weigh in, Adium and Apache serve two almost diametrically  
opposed publics. People who download apache builds/sources are either  
sysadmins, packagers and/or developers and therefore are likely to  
understand multiple releases of the same product existing  
concurrently, including a seemingly "older" release (1.4.4) being  
"released" after a "newer" one (Apache 2.0). Adium users, on the  
contrary, are most probably traditional Mac users who, not  
necessarily underestimating them, only want to click on buttons and  
open menus; in my opinion they are likely to be confused by this  
"release disorder", as I think they'll see it. So based on that, I do  
believe releasing Adium 1.0.5 after 1.1 doesn't make much sense....  
for the likely Adium public at least.

	Again, just my thoughts ;-)
