</span>My opinion is that you should go ahead and make a .Final tag. In the<br>
(unlikely?) event that the spec has to be modified for some reason, I<br>
think you could make a 1.0.1.Final tag and call it a "bug fix".<br>
<br>
The alternative is to simply wait. I don't think there is any middle position.<br>

<br>
</span>I don't think we are; I agree with the policy as it stands. If you<br>
look at it in terms of being able to release at any time, then it<br>
follows that everything _must_ be stable.<br>
