Correct. I'd like to keep API changes small, and so allow the next release to
be 1.4.1 if possible, but with IPv6 support going in I'm not sure that is
realistic and 1.5.0 could well be the next release.

I'm not sure I follow: there are no branches in the lwIP source tree (yet).

If we can do things in a way that doesn't break existing ports then that gets
my vote.
