[xmonad] Releasing 1.0

[Gwern Branwen]

I spent the other reading a PhD thesis about time-based releases:
http://www.cyrius.com/publications/michlmayr-phd.html

All the projects involved seemed to prefer time-based releases, and
there was much criticism of releases simply being endlessly dragged
out and end-users being hurt by the delays and unclear forecasts.

Let us say I was more than a little reminded of Xmonad and #xmonad.
The last major release of xmonad was back when George W. Bush was
president.

There are no outstanding patches in
http://darcswatch.nomeata.de/repo_http:__code.haskell.org_XMonadContrib.html
or http://darcswatch.nomeata.de/repo_http:__code.haskell.org_xmonad.html
Since then, awesome has made something like 10 releases; even dwm has
made releases. There are plenty of bugs left in Xmonad, but I doubt
many will be squashed given another few months or years.

Let's just make the 1.0 release already.
