Based on previoius 15 months plan, 2014.1.5 was targeting July 2015,
so releasing it next week would be close enough:

I'm not sure if release machinery would work after removing the branch
so let's release this last one (codename: Farewell ?) point release. I
can do this next week after we finish pending reviews.
