I'll be the first one to say that I am willing to wait ~ 6 months to
get 1.5 with merge tracking.
None of the features listed above is critical to our setup/use of
Subversion.
When you say "too long since the last release" are you referring to 1.4
or 1.4.3? If the former then I do agree, if the latter then I don't
think it has been that long since 1.4.3 was released.
I am hesitant to go through another upgrade cycle too soon since in our
environment we have subversion running on Windows and a few flavours of
UNIX.
