make default download cassandra 1.0
because cassandra 1.0 is not sufficiently stable, what about to make
cassandra 1.0 default download and add bottom line - cassandra 1.0 is
also available.
I seen this in other projects.

Well fwiw this is my perspecive as a user:
Software does not stabilize in sherry casks it does so by beining used.
If you don't release than it's not being used because only few use betas.
Nobody forces you to use the latest version. You can deploy latest on
your test system and watch it for a couple of weeks and report problems
back making it stable. New users will mainly want to fool around with it
in the beginning. So there's no harm. Everybody who takes bleeding edge
to production will meet Darwin sooner or later.
Point is: we are the testers.

message was wrong, It should be cass 1.1 vs 1.0. Cassandra 1.1 needs
some time to stabilize. It took months to get cassandra 1.0 stable after
it was released.
Reworked schema changes in cass 1.1 produces some really weird bugs like
disappearing entire keyspace (data are still there). I think that new
cassandra users should not be used as beta testers.
Other SW projects have similar problems for example dovecot 2.1 is
offered as default download even it is not stable enough for production.

Oh my this all sounds very alarming. Should I be confused? Or even the
other way around?
