Not the first joke to be taken for real and being used by far too many people because they find it useful.

I don't think that's true.

Inability to release 1.0 of any software is driven by indecision and/or a lack of confidence in the stability of your product. Nothing more. If you’re decisive about meaningful features on realistic milestones and confident that you have a stable system, there is no reason to not 1.0.
