There were some new rulesets added between 1.0.0development.1 and
1.0.0.development.2, but there won't be any new rulesets shipped in
development releases until one of these releases has proved stable enough to
become 1.0.0.

Part of the issue is that because of Firefox's excellent auto-update
mechanism, it gets quite complicated to have more branches of releases
(bleeding edge, beta, stable) with their own well-defined upgrade series.  So
at least for the next few weeks I want the dev branches to be more "beta" than
"bleeding edge" -- they can become more adventurous again later.
