I don't think there are plans to make another release from the branch, but I didn't see any final word by Richard on this, so I guess it's possible. In any case, we could replace emacs-21.3.tar.gz with a tarball under the same name where emacs.c is patched. (We could call it emacs-21.3a.tar.gz, if using the same name would confuse people.)
