I disagree. We should weigh the importance and seriousness of issues  
against the drawbacks of further delays. It is unlikely that the  
issues you mention will be addressed in the near future. As such, I  
would strongly prefer to release 1.0.0 and then have those issues be  
fixed in a 1.0.1 release. Or not. I think for 99.99% of our users,  
this is preferable compared to yet another totally unpredictable delay.
