Personally, I do not feel that a 2.1.7 release is appropriate. 2.2 is "just around the corner". However, I do feel that the patches need to be committed to the 2.1 tree. Those who are interested can track 2.1 via CTM or CVSup. It is my intention to continue supplying the CTM updates for 2.1 until such time as either 1) all those with commit privledges refuse to make additional commits or 2) 2.2 has been tested sufficiently that we can reasonably recommend that users (including those who run "mission critical" situations such as eg. ISP servers) upgrade to it. However, I am not within the group of comitters and can therefore simply add my voice to those who encourage that these important corrections be committed to the 2.1 branch as well as later branches.
