So Fasttracks servers give the order to supernodes to do something. The reason for the upgrade to version 1.5 is probably only to distinct between desired and undesired clients.

All we know is that v1.5 supernodes block v1.3.3 clients. It isn't sure (as far as I know) that this order comes from KaZaA's servers, and not just hardcoded into v1.5+. Even if it does, it is very possible that v1.4 superpeers don't have the mechanism required to block older clients, and that this is a "feature" of v1.5+ only!
Sounds to me like it's worth trying, as again, there's nothing to lose, and the less control we give KaZaA, the better we can live with ourselves
