sorry for the delay in responding, I was struck down by the flu.

So I'm really not sure here, so comments and thoughts are more than welcome.

We can probably make the current set of tools work with 1.0 without too
much trouble, but we would also need some tests and documentation before
release, not necessarily exhaustive, but at least something. Pursuing a
release quickly would likely help to drive interest and momentum for the
tools.

I think I'm leaning in favor of doing that, gets us used to doing apache
releases, and the other pieces of infrastructure, and would let us get
visible within the hadoop community sooner.

I believe its still important to start work on the multi version support as
soon as possible, but I think we can do that in parallel to the release of
some tools that support the 1.0 line.

So let me know what you guys think, and we'll go from there.

Cheers,
Adam
