I presume that one day the 1.x.y code will reach end of life.
There's no plan to terminate the 1.x branch. It will not gain any new features, but as stated by Werner Koch a few months ago, it "will be kept alive for use with PGP 2 encrypted and signed data" [1].
I think it is important that they can still do this with a maintained (2.x.y) code base.
Support for PGP 2 has already been dropped from the current stable branch, I don't think it will ever be brought back. But the 1.4.x branch *is* maintained, even if only for critical bugfixes.
