This is a "black or white" approach that won't work. Users never want either bug fixes or new features. They want both (and NOW :)).
Are you sure about NOW? more YESTERDAY :D
You are correct about a "black or white" approach not working, but I would expect if asked, end-users to incline more for features.
Principally, _any_ pre-1.0 release should be considered as buggy.
Well, we will *not* have a 1.0 for the foreseeable future...
I suggest the following scheme we seem to follow anyway:
0.43 - both bugfixes for 0.42 and new features 0.43.x - bugfix releases
I don't think we plan to have 0.nn.x releases, as those should happen only in case of major breakages (we had such things, but those were not planned)
