I'd like to see releases for 21.2 come out at the same time as 21.0.
The patches have to be applied to both code trees, so it's usually
easier to apply them at the same time. And putting out a beta should
ideally involve no more work than
make-beta-dist 21.0
make-beta-dist 21.2
or something like that. (Of course, it might take many hours to run).
