My logic goes like this... The facts are that we have a repo with an almost done GPLv3 or later that I would like to get out because I think it will be beneficial for future development. I hope you agree here. This is more or less the current beta but with a license change. There are no bug fixes or enhancement there. Only the license change. Still I think this is important enough to warrant a version number bump. It should be easy to know that this is the version from which XEmacs was GPLv3 or later. I suggest a version bump so it sticks out. Maybe it should be 21.7 then for an odd number if that is needed for a development version!? For doing version number bumps I guess we need to do a release. Normally a release means something new, complete, etc. This time it does too. A new license. 21.5 will end its life with a release note that basically states that this is the end. Whatever bugs that are there will be fixed in the GPLv3 or later version.
