Yeah, given that the stable 1.0 release is aimed for 2.24 but has a
disclaimer that if the quality is not ok it'll be punted to 2.26, I
would consider it quite reasonable to wait for 1.0 release until
opening the doors...

Vala has been eagerly adopted already, so it shouldn't hamper the
development by limiting user base either.
