No; the top of the trunk is far too unstable for releasing.  Release 
branches are split off of trunk about once a year, and then debugged for 
about four months or so after that before a release is done from them. 
At that point, regressions and some major bugs are fixed in the release 
branch, and further releases are done from them.

4.1.3 is thus the fourth release from the 4.1 branch, which was split 
from the trunk in late 2005.  You're currently in the worst possible 
position for releases, since 4.2.0 is almost but not quite ready for 
releases.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html for details, especially the timeline 
at the bottom.
