Do you want a multi-language-1.0, or is this (now) a English-only thing?
I want a 1.0 in each language, yes. And the drive to create a 1.0 in each language will depend on the organic growth of that language's encyclopedia. I think that there's a natural time to look at what has been accomplished and to say "yes, this is now getting close to a degree of breadth that would justify trying to get to a stable release".
It'll naturally be primarily up to the people who are working in any given language as to when there's enough interest in the partial shift of focus. (I say 'partial' because while I expect some of us to get really excited and active in finalizing articles for a 1.0 release, I also expect others to just keep doing the same wonderful things they've been doing all along.)
I think it would be needlessly English-centric of us to assume that all wikipedia languages should be doing the same thing at the same time.
