I agree that 0.6 should be shipped with FC6. I like the idea of
beating up the 0.7 branch on the development branch for FC7.

Keeping in line with our razor-blade focus for mock ("we just build
packages in chroots"), I actually don't think there's much more to do
for 1.0. Once we are comfortable with the functional and security
aspects of the 0.7 mock, I'd call it cooked. Assuming of course no one
comes up with a killer feature that is :).
