This seems sensible - it would be kind of like rewriting history in a 
git repo to re-release 1.0 with different content. I'm also completely 
fine with having to use a different release number for our eventual 1.0 
release. It may make our release version checks unhappy, but since this 
is (hopefully) not a thing we'll be doing regularly I imagine we can 
find a way around that.

If we can pull the 1.0.0 release that would be ideal since as Sean 
mentioned people aren't good about reading docs and a 1.0 implies some 
things that aren't true here.
