You should still report the crashes. Nothing prevents you from using a
package with RC bugs. It *will* prevent most newbies from seeing it,
though, since it will very probably not end up on a official CD.

I will wide-release a package that is at 0.8, soon. I think the number
is appropriate - it is generally stable, all the features that should
end up in 1.0 are in, but it has not seen testing by more than three
persons.
OTOH I concur that many authors seem to think more in the (0..1) than
in the (1..inf) interval.
There is a life after 1.0!
