I'm inclined to accept his offer, but does anyone >> argue against it? I think it would be a waste of time. And several users would be disappointed because the new release "still doesn't fix the bug I reported 4 years ago". I haven't seen enormous amounts of bug reports in gnu.emacs.bug since 21.3 came out, and I haven't seen any significant bugfix on the RC branch, so I think we should just fous on releasing the trunk rather than spend time on a minor release that noone will care about (most machines I have access to still use 21.2, BTW).
