[B.A.T.M.A.N.] old batman-adv within 15.05 brunch?

[Ufo]

is there a reason for staying with batman-adv 2014 for openwrt 15.05?

our current freifunk leipzig running batman-adv 2015.0 and it seems to work

I would even say that it should switch to 2015.1 (not yet released) because it 
fixes some nasty problems:

batman-adv 2015.1

 * support latest kernels (2.6.29 - 4.2)
 * cleanup of coding style
 * cleanup of the compatibility layer
 * convert to the Linux source directory structure
 * adjust default configuration
   - disable network coding
   - enable bridge loop avoidance
 * bugs squashed:
   - avoid DAT to mess up local LAN state
   - fix race conditions in DAT/NC/TT/MCAST TVLV handlers
   - fix build system POSIX compatibility
   - fix gateway selection in fast connection (1) gw_mode
   - fix initialization of detected gateway
   - fix race conditions in the translation table
   - fix kernel crash due to missing NULL checks in vlan handlers
   - fix potentially broken header access by multicast optimization
   - fix broadcast packets cleanup for purged outgoing interface

batman-adv 2015.0

 * support latest kernels (2.6.29 - 4.1)
 * cleanup of coding style and add kerneldoc
 * bugs squashed:
   - fix incorrect lockdep warning in network coding
   - fix condition when bonding should be used
   - fix support of bridged batman-adv devices with kernel < 2.6.39

so who wants to do that? :-o
or maybe there are other purposes to keep the older version within 15-05 
brunch?

I am building CC r47678 with batctl 2015.1 [batman-adv: 2015.1] and so
far testing it with 2 routers and no problems at all.

If anyone has some feedback in regards why we should not give it a go to
2015, let us know
