Let's start with your first example. Firefox only went 1.0 about 9 months ago. At that point, there were already 8 million downloads. I would say it was pretty dammed released before 1.0! Ah, but it's not finished, they had been saying, "Firefox 0.8 is a Technology Preview. While this software works well enough to be relied upon as your primary browser in most cases, we make no guarantees of its performance or stability. It is a pre-release product and should not be relied upon for mission-critical tasks." So basically for Firefox, not having 1.0 was a big CYA in case someone finds a nasty bug. Other than the bug report, all other comments >>/dev/null. You see, here is the problem. Linux people want the Linux OS and Linux software to be more widely accepted, especially on the desktop. However having version 0.8 sends a message that, 'we're not worthy', when I know dam well that some of these programs are better than 6.0 of some commercial programs. Debian got it right, screw numbers, use names.
