The big difference between major revisions (1.4 -> 1.5) is a change to
the database schema, so it makes little sense to create your own tree
based on 1.4.1rc3 with patches from the 1.5 branch.  You might as well
just run 1.5 from CVS head or a development snapshot.  The 1.5 schema
is still subject to change, so you'd need to be comfortable updating
your database for schema changes without the release-level
documentation.

I have several customers using 1.5.0 prereleases in production.
