Um, it ought to.

I think you ought to branch.  Branch off 1.0 with a feature freeze, and 
also an "experimental" new-features new-stuff branch.  Rather than 
rejecting all new features, put them in the experimental branch.  That 
branch then later becomes 1.1 or 2.0 (depending on how you choose to 
number, etc).  That way, people who just want a stable software platform 
can choose 1.0, and those who live on the bleeding edge can choose the 
experimental branch.
