   Here is a list, it is rather long, 1222 new variables.

I guess that this is a list of all new defcustoms, not a list of new
defcustoms missing a :version keyword.

Note that when looking at this, one has to be careful.  From
`(elisp)Group Definitions':

    `:version VERSION'
          This option specifies that the group was first introduced in
          Emacs version VERSION.  The value VERSION must be a string.

     Tag the group with a version like this when it is introduced,
     rather than the individual members (*note Variable Definitions::).

In other words, the defcustoms that are defined during the same
version as their group should not have a :version keyword.  The
defgroup should.

This is especially relevant for files that are new in "21.4".

Sincerely,

Luc.
