1.5.0 is odd number minor pointt so naturally it's a development
snapshot, people should not receive it by default like 1.4.x or 1.6.x.

I think it's probably valuable to provide it via PyPI as a development
snapshot like any other odd minor point, but it's probably got a fairly
short lifespan (mostly we want to identify if the technically breaking
change of how includes work cause any real problems before jumping into
1.6).

PS: Thanks a lot for wrapping the PyPI releases ! people are using them
so they are very valuable :)
