Should there be a stable version 1.6.0 now, based on what's in version 1.5.14, but without DVB-S2 or even H.264 support?
Yes or No?
Yes.
The linux kernel development has been through similar arguments about the merits of the 2.2/2.4/2.6 development models. I can not see any negatives in releasing a new stable version.
Those that require DVB-S2/H.264 can carry on using the development tree. Those that want the other new features from 1.5 can use the new stable release without getting dragged into requiring a non-distro kernel and frequent updates.
