Well, I'm on the "yea" side but here's my reason: I'm planning to use
SLIME in some form in my book. I've been talking with the Lisp In A
Box guys about maybe using that and it uses SLIME. So it would be nice
if there was a 1.0 SLIME to include on the CD to give my readers the
warm fuzzies that come from that magic number. Also, having a stable
release that is recognized by other SLIME developers would make my
testing, etc. easier since presumably there would be some interest in
patching show-stopper bugs in the 1.0 release without requiring me to
move forward to the head of the development branch in CVS.
