Not too long (I think/hope).

 - bitrate managment: AFAIK Monty already wrote most of the code

 - tuning for low-bitrate modes: Two and a half months ago Monty
   said:

   "What I'm trying to do is fill in 'key' modes, such
   that the bitrate management engine can fill in the modes between
   without manual intervention."

   If this feature is implemented time-expensive tuning shouldn´t
   be necessary anymore. Does anybody know more about it?

 - bitrate peeling: The RC3 encoder shouldn´t be too far away now,
   so in near future every new Vorbis file will be peelable. Even
   if the peeling tools would arrive some months after the 1.0 release
   this wouldn´t hurt too much...

I don´t think they are waiting for 1.0. They are waiting until
a sufficiently large number of their customers uses Vorbis. The
best way to achieve this is to release a mature, full featured
product.
