We could make a 21.4 release from the release branch.
That might be a good idea anyway.
    

I agree.  IIRC, 21.3 had a couple of annoying last-minute bugs.
  
Its a good idea if we can stick to a quick pretest cycle (a couple of weeks at the most). Otherwise the dragging out of the pretest will cause disillusioned users and distract the developers from getting CVS trunk into a releasable state. There are only a couple of minor bugfixes, so it should be possible to keep the pretest short if we purposely set out to do that and don't get distracted.
