Thanks Ralph -- good to see Ceki's response to the same question, albeit
2 yrs earlier.  Makes me think I should have voiced my justifications
for a 1.0 label years ago, as doubtless many people are likewise waiting
for 1.0 to try out logback, but get by with log4j and don't press the
issue.  Will wait to hear me directly from Ceki on this.  Thanks also
for pointing out the issues lists.

There is no denying that people feel more comfortable with a 1.0 release than a 0.9 release. By the same token, people are more forgiving with breaking changes in a 0.9 release than in a 1.0 release. The extra wiggle room had my preference in the past.

On this note, here's something I dug up from over 3 yrs ago, including
the "1.0 release" question: http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/08/logback.
Again this brings me back to my related question: /Are there some
must-have features that have yet to be implemented?/

There are no must-have features missing but I still have a few significant improvements I'd like to make before going 1.0.

I don't suppose support for structured data is one of them?
