Making releases is easy - deciding on what the release means is harder.

I don't want to promise ABI or API stability for the whole tree the way 
nagios did. In fact, I'm not too keen on promising any type of 
integration point level stability at all above "best effort" or "tell us 
if you're interested, and we'll help you fix them if we break them".

The kind of broker module API provided by nagios is insane - if it's not 
possible to refactor code without a new major release, you've fucked up.

But we should do a release ASAP, yes.
