Depending upon how frequently we go through the 1.0->1.1->1.2 cycle, how about
for the perl (or any other 'unstable' binding) saying that it'll be compatible
for that minor series alone? The python bindings, on the other hand, would be
expected to work in any 1.x series (like the C bindings).

Perhaps that's a compromise that could work? So, you'd only be stuck with the
bindings until we hit 1.2 (assuming odd/even dev cycles which isn't even
agreed to yet).

What do ya'll think? -- justin
