    Imagine that 21.4 has been relased, and then imagine Jerome and I have
    made 21.5, 21.6, and 21.7 bugfix releases using backports or patches
    that were submitted to Debian, that have been approved by the Emacs
    developers.  Now imagine that you're preparing to make a new release
    from the "main" upstream development branch.  What do you call it?

22.1, I think.
