Quite correct, of course. Instead of "2.1.X vanishes" please substitute
the words "work on 2.1.X drastically reduces or stops completely" to get
a better impression of my meaning. With advance warning of the impending
2.2.0-RELEASE, I envisage that the maintainers of 2.1.X would put out
a final cleanup version which would be the "production" system until
2.2.0 had proved itself. This final version could be available for as
long as required perhaps at least until 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 was out and was
perceived to be of sufficient stability and quality to be a viable
replacement.
