Nobody at Apple will comment on anything related to an OS X release so I
wouldn't expect an answer to your last question.
Regarding the 1.0 roadmap, the goal is to close all these bugs:
http://www.macruby.org/trac/report/17

Releases are pushed when ready and while 100% rubyspecs passing and running
rails (much harder than runnning the rubyspecs) are goals, I don't think
they are 1.0 requirements. The top priority of 1.0 is to be extremely solid
when it comes to Cocoa dev. Making sure we can run a web framework which
uses all the weirdest Ruby edge cases known to Rubyists is interesting to
test the compatibility but that doesn't provide such a great value to the
end users.
