No, no. The 21.4 was supposed to be reserved as a bug fix release to
21.3. Once 21.5 is out, 21.4 should not appear: then people have to
jump the gun and help us get the bug out from 21.5 instead.
I just wanted to take 21.4 as a reserve when we know that 21.5 can't
be out soon, but we would very much need a particular bug fix to 21.3
to be out before that.

Right. I was talking about reserving 21.4 for _before_ 21.5 is
released. Once we consider the trunk stable enough for an 21.5
release to be imminent, expending work on an in-between bug fix
release would be inappropriate.
