I am afraid to remove them.

 this only relates to the xine engine (xine-lib), not xine
 frontends
 
+1-rc1   First "release candidate". xine's architecture is stable, ie. it
+        must not be changed before 1.0. Features that do not appear in
+        this roadmap must not be added. Focus is on bugfixes.
+
+1-rc2   Documentation is brought up to date.
+
+1-rc3   The release mechanism is well-defined and documented, along with a
+        set of test procedures. Some (most?) of the tests are automated.
+        Now is the time of "soft" feature freeze: Generally, new features
+        must not be added. However, low-impact stuff, such as new
+        demuxer, decoder or input plugins are okay.
+
+1-rc4   All user-visible strings should be enclosed in _() for translation.
+        The majority of config entries should have a proper help string.
+        Decision should be made, what messages to report on console and
+        what to put in the log. The config option naming is cleaned up.
+
+1-rc5   There is a well-defined bug handling mechanism, even if it is a
+        paper based checklist on someones desk. 1.0-critical bugs are
+        sorted out.
+        This is the time of "hard" feature freeze: Only bug fixes are
+        permitted.
+        (xine-ui should stabilize here, as well, maybe an 0.99.x or
+         1-alpha/beta/rc series to demonstarte this to end users)
+
+1-rc6   Most compile warnings are fixed. Hopefully the translators have
+        finished their job as well.
+
+1-rc7   All known bugs should be fixed now. There is a big call for
+        testers. If they don't find any new bugs for at least a week,
+        we're there, and 1.0 will only differ in version number and a bit
+        of documentation. If they do find more bugs, we keep on fixing
+        them and making weekly rc releases until we get stable...
+        (xine-ui may have an 1.0 release any time after this point;
+         before, together with, or after xine-lib 1.0, depending on it's
+         own 1.0 release goals)
+
+1.0     Due to historical reasons, the day 1.0 is released will be
+        given the name "christmas".
