Yes, consequently the designated next real release should be called
21.5.
RMS has already stated that the next release from the trunk will be
22.1, and I think most developers agree with him, so it is not a useful
use of our time to continue discussing what the next release will be
called.
Discussing what the pre-release and development version will be called
is marginally more useful, but I've yet to see anyone put forward a
suggestion that does not have as many drawbacks as the current system,
and it has wasted a lot of time now, so unless someone comes up with
something new that they've thought through themselves first, then it
must be about time to drop the discussion and stick with what we have,
which while not perfect has suited us well enough until now.
