Hi all.
What about dropping 1.0.2 line, and concentrating on 1.1.x, and soon on 1.2?
My arguments:
- most people use 1.1 or trunk (see the poll)
- 1.0.2 is not more stable than 1.1
- we do not seem to have the human resource to backport systematically
the many fixes we have in 1.1 (often, not even those in trunk)
- the current situation is quite confusing for necomers (and probably
also for many other users); see e.g.
http://qgis.org/en/download/binaries.html
All the best.

Try opening a previously saved QGS file with a WMS layer and no internet
connection with 1.0.x .. crash! This means I can't really use QGIS 1.0.x
when traveling or if the internet is down. Nonetheless, I do my main
work with the "stable" 1.0.x series since I work with other people .. we
keep our versions the same for obvious reasons.

Versions 1.1.x and beyond are more stable with this particular matter.
