Initially, I planned to do it for 1.2.0 release. 1.1.X are development
releases, with an API which can change. That's why I keep it in
experimental.

However, the next release should be the 1.2.0. The only task remaining
is a refactoring of the python bindings. Probably, the C API will not
changed, but I can't be 100 % sure. And no ETA for this new release.

Well, it's a problem. gvfs had a stable release with an unstable API.
However, I know, even if it's considered unstable, libimobiledevice API
doesn't change a lot. Also, Ubuntu 11.04 ship this version, and I'm not
aware of any problem of compatibility.

Not yet.
