When Dapper was released, there was alot of questions about when new installers and CDs would
be pressed that fixed known installation bugs.  It took Canonical a long time to produce an
image that would load on a large number of servers out there.  The announcement of the point
release isn't a statement of "this release is bad", so much as "as this point, you can expect
a new installer image to work from." with all the bugs that are fixed after general deployment
rolled into it.

It's actually a really good thing for the customers.  So, start your lab testing now with the
released version, and if you don't find bugs then great.  Otherwise, report them (via the
public Launchpad or through the support organisation with a contract) and the use the .1
release.
