I've noticed this and seeing it all laid out is hilarious. (So, so many JS frameworks omg)
Is this basically so they can forever say: "Well don't expect it to be feature complete, it's not even 1.0 yet!" ??
I don't think, it's as conscious of a decision. Projects above a certain level of complexity will just never realistically reach the criteria one might associate with a 1.0 (stable API, no known bugs, largely feature-complete). And then especially non-commercial projects just don't have an incentive to arbitrarily proclaim that they fulfill these criteria...
