Let's ignore version numbers for now.  The issue of how to number them seems
to always drift into never ending discussions and I have no interest
in them.  Use whichever scheme you like.

Let's call 21.1 FOO, 21.2 BAR and 21.3 BAZ.

FOO was a major release, BAR and BAZ were minor releases cur from a branch
(that started off of FOO) and with only safe bugfixes applied.
