I don't know which roadmap you're reading, but you obviously don't follow or understand Mozilla development. 1.1 is an unstable development release. There will be no more releases on the 1.1 branch. 1.0 was their first API freeze, and consumers of the mozilla.org code have been encouraged to follow that branch. As such I think that the chosen port names are ideal. Names like mozilla10, etc. just lead to repo bloat, because they eventually have to be copied or moved. Remember, mozilla.org does not release browsers for public consumption. They are for testing purposes only. Because we happen to have no better browser is our problem... Stability for mozilla.org is defined in terms of the API, not the MTBF.
