Huh? I think it's been much more mentioned as "the next big thing". As in "will only be included in 21.4". And all the code currently refersw to 21.4. So I suggest we don't change anything for now (i.e. aim for 21.4). If something bad happens we can always release a 21.4 bugfix and go through the CVS code to fix the refs from 21.4 to 21.5. Stefan
