Within a short time I will release the last beta in the 21.5 series
under GPLv2+ licensing. After that, all 21.5 and later versions will
be under GPLv3+.

21.4 will remain under GPLv2+. That means you cannot *distribute*
GPLv3+ packages with it as a system.
Well as I see it, then at least (K)ubuntu, Debian[1] which release for
the moment 21.4 as the standard Xemacs version[2], have to
change to 21.5. Do you think 21.5 is stable enough for mainstream?
BTW much more important: did the xsymbol-patch, you sent me
some time ago, enter into 21.5. It is a very important patch
:-D

Footnotes:
[1] I don't know about other Linux distributions.
[2] I asked years ago whether Debian would consider to
release 21.5 in there unstable branch, but they refused.
