"The Plan", as I understand it, is for 1.4.x to happen sooner after
1.3.x than 1.3.x was after 1.2.x. The general idea is that there are
enough interesting new things already in trunk that we should really
avoid sitting around for months and months before releasing them.
The specific new features are the WC replacements work (bugfixes and
speedups to libsvn_wc), svndiff1 (smaller repositories due to
compression of newly added data in the svndiff format),
ra_replay/svnsync (repository replication via a new ra layer API), and
probably something else I've forgotten along the way.
I believe the timeline people had been kicking around were 3-4 months
from now, although I can't remember exactly. It's a conversation that
needs to occur in order for it to get finalized, and I don't think
that's happened yet.

As long as it's not going to be turned on by default, I don't see any
problem with the code going into trunk.
