may i suggest to postpone the following issues past 1.0:
1042,1044,1019,1034,1035,1036,1037,1046,1031,630,1015,1025,
510,639,1004,1008,913,1006,724,
495,992,837,699,919,990,933,787,869,971,977,751,774,957,951,
952,950,885,882,620,571,443,746,558,738,
838,749,773,852,959,850,650,667,997,854,986,752,991,777,
946,987,
and go beta if the remaining "critical" ones are done
(730,668,1003,891,940)?

there is two kinds of stability:
- data is safe and accessible:
i consider it as stable, as i never heard of
somebody who lost a repository recently.
and berkely db is definitely known as very
reliable. so the data store is safe.
- the interfaces are stable
you can just make it stable
but svn 2.0 does NOT need to have
the same interfaces, otherwise
it will end up as one of the unusable
unix-dinosaurs where one wrong decision
gets dragged along for years.
don't have the illusion of doing
it perfect for 1.0.

granted.
but i still think svn has less crashes than linux. and the majorities
of issues have nothing to do with crashes.

this is the only point we disagree.
labes are important. and features is not any more important for 1.0.
