A 2.1.x release would be based on -stable, not on -current.

Since 0.0.5 (2.0.5R -> 2.1.0R) is worth 10M of diffs, that 2M/revision
number.

That makes -stable, at best, a 2.1.3.  8-).

This assumes we go by magnitude for marketing reasons instead of numerically
for technical ones (numerically, we'd call it 2.1.1).
