For reference, that branch is
svn diff -r 40027:40028 
svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/CMF/branches/efge-1.5-five-compatible

The parts of that branch that have been merged are the reordering of 
base classes of Image and File.
CMF 1.6: http://svn.zope.org/?rev=40207&view=rev
I've no idea why I didn't merge it also in trunk, I'll do that now.

The non-merged thing is the one redoing the CMFCatalogAware recursion by 
calling super() and the removal of manage_beforeDelete & friends from 
Image and File. This should be merged only on 2.0.

I guess yes.

I'll provide some help there if needed.
