Doing a very first development release is imho a good way to get some
feedback for the corresponding 0.6.0 release. And it might help for
distributions inclusion (iirc Ubuntu feature freeze and similar
deadlines for Mandriva and OpenSUSE are scheduled to next week or so).

I'm not sure... We could maybe use the same version for the plugins
but independant versions for 3rd party apps... Using the same version
than Compiz has the advantage to not confuse users though.
