more like

 - stay with r1_4 and HEAD
 - bugfixes and security updates to r1_4, all other development to HEAD
 - close r1_4 at some point
 - create a r1_5 branch from HEAD at some point (so there is r1_5 and HEAD)
 - release r1_5

the idea being that we close up shop and store away 1.4.x for good at
some point, that point being shortly before officially starting work on
making a new 1.5.x series.

i'd say that's probably a good idea.  no reason not to also tag versions
to any of the 1.4.x and 1.5.x point releases as well, but i think two
actively maintained branches (one stable, one development) is ideal.
