That's true of final released software. That is, I'd always prefer
the 1.0 tag to the 1.1-development "trunk".

But svn's trunk is having bugs fixed on a daily basis. We're not yet
in that magical 1.0 bug-free zone. It's changing way too fast, and
almost universally for the better. We've finally managed to freeze
features, but most of the features are still buggy. I can almost
*guarantee* that HEAD will be the least buggy of any previous
revision.
