Roy, You've really opened yourself up to a flame attack here, but I'm not going to take the bait. From Brian's response, you can see that the developers do their best to make a release and then let it go out into the wild. If you really want to see the 1.0.x tree stabilize, you need to provide better feedback than what you've done. The development tools are available to you, too. I think this opens up to a really good point about developers and stable. I remember reading in the sineapps.com interview for our stable maintainer, Russell Bryant, that people told him they felt bad that he "got stuck" with being stable maintainer. Doesn't seem like everyone is willing to work on 1.0. Admittedly I am new to this community, so as an observer thus far, I can say that I have come to see everyone seems to expect all of the features but do none of the work. Then it usually returns to grumpy complaints about how asterisk developers are not good, etc, etc. Then it usually turns into a Digium shitfest thereafter. Returning to the stable branch, I think the developers that do post patches to keep it working as best as possible are doing a good job, just that there are not enough people doing this. I have already spoken with Russell and Mark Spencer about possibly becoming a helper to Russell on stable tree work. I hope to be of some help to him and help the community out. So if you're really interested in the stability of asterisk, please help out and do so, but don't impede.
