From Oren:

 I think that we are about done nit-picking the spec, at least as far as
 intent is concerned. Clark, Brian, everyone - I feel it is about time
 we declared this as a "release candidate". Any reason not to? As Brian
 pointed out, we don't see ourselves making any further changes...

From Ingy:

 I'll tell you what. Let's shoot for the end of April for announcing a
 Release Candidate. (It seems that) Why, Mike Orr and I are are in the
 middle of implementing a lot of stuff in the next 6 weeks. If the spec
 can survive that period, then I'm willing to go to a release candidate.

I think the implementations are the only hold up.  It's difficult to
announce a 1.0 of YAML without adequate software to back it up.  But
that's all changing quickly.
