Release 1.0 could be a long long way off. I don't think we should wait until then. Even 0.9 is a long way off. 

Having more regression testing of applications will help us get to 0.9. If user's can't test one day becasue they can't compile, that means less testing. It also means we might lose that user as a tester all together.
