As the VF 2.0 matures, we expect most new projects will make use of its new architecture and look. However, there will be many existing projects that are unable to upgrade and will feel pressure to visually align with the newer look.
A v1.4 release would be a way for services to opt into visual changes like the typeface (Plex) and perhaps some of the other EMBL/EMBL-EBI colour changes, without needing to rearchitect their projects.

new EMBL and EBI Plex typeface
thematic changes to header and footer
compatibility optimisations for posting will with vf2.0 CSS that may be co-loaded into a project
Not all sites and services will have the development capacity to update from 1.x to 2.0, so we're planning a v1.4 of the EBI VF to allow a more seamless user journey between EBI web services running 1.x and 2.0. The 1.4 release is designed as an easy change for existing sites and services while buying time or preventing the need to update 2.0 in many cases.
v1.4 is non-breaking change that does not require HTML updates.
v1.4 creates a visual sympathy between the 1.x architecture and 2.0 architecture and look. Here is an example boilerplate between 1.3 and 1.4:
If you have a service running 1.2 or 1.3 we ask that you try changing the CSS and JS to this URL and report any concern, comment or idea by the end of the year.

You can see a comparison below. By design, the changes are quite minor and non-disruptive, but they will help users that frequent between 2.0 and 1.4 sites.
