Going from 200902xx to 1.0 (or just about anything else) will cause some 
headaches with package updates.  In rpm land Epoch would need to be used, 
dunno about other package formats but I suppose they have similar mechanisms.  
I have no problem with that, it's obviously doable, just thought I'd mention 
it in case someone didn't think of it.  I wouldn't have any problem with 
sticking with date based versions either, but I suppose it would be confusing 
in case someone intends to maintain two separate branches (does someone?).
