Subject: Purpose of Ruby 1.9?

First of all I want to thank Matz and Ko1 for yours great work! I
can't say how much thankful I am for Ruby language.

My question is generally to Matz, Ko1 or other Ruby core maintainers.
We have Ruby 1.9 already released. Matz says that it's not stable as
he expected, so it requires some work to become stable. But what
intentions are for Ruby 1.9.x? Is it released mainly for developers
and programmers which are very close to language (language, gem
maintainers) or it's regular release for production usage? Does Ruby
follow unix style for labeling versions? (1.8 stable, 1.9 development,
2.0 stable etc) I've read dissenting opinions of it.
