As the change from 1.4 to 1.5 db will be a big step anyway, two additions come to mind:
* Language links Should we finally put these into a real table? At least, additionally to keep them in the text? With an interwiki link table up and current, we could then switch to "real" interwiki management at a later stage.
* Templates At German wikipedia, we have a "Personendaten" (person data) template. It might be of use to be able to access the data put into it. I don't have an actual application for that, though.
None of these items is essential, but IMHO there's an oppurtunity to at least prepare for an improved metadata management.

The prime use for Personendaten is that it allows you to automatically create an alphabetically sorted list of Lemmata that follow classic conventions like "Dole, Bob" under D instead of [[Bob Dole]] under B.
A second feature is something like "list all people that were born between 1700 and 1800 in Frankfurt".
All people who died on March 18. and so on.
