What have you been pointing out for so long? That Rust is unstable? That many people/companies won't use Rust while it is unstable? That there are other languages people can use instead? All of those are highly uncontroversial and universally acknowledged by experienced Rust users. Also, I don't understand how you have lept from Rust being unstable now, to Rust never being stable. A 1.0 release by the end of the year doesn't seem at all unreasonable to me; I think you are expecting more from it than what the Rust team is looking for (and have stated publicly repeatedly): stabilising the core language. Of course, a stable release of that form will still mean some libraries may be unstable (and so that Rust would be unsuitable for many corporate developments). These libraries will be stabilised progressively and iteratively.
