Well, it's not really scary, since you can tweak them yourself. To me,
a 1.0 means that the product is feature-complete, relatively bug free,
and has been worked for scalability. Thus, what you can read from
these versions is that (1) people are using them, (2) they aren't
"feature-complete" according to the author, (3) they may have bugs,
and (4) they may not be as scalable as they should be.

For Ruwiki (not really part of the concepts you are examining), I have
a planned feature set, so Ruwiki won't reach 1.0 until those features
are in place.
