I might be missing something but I wouldn't think that 21.4 would need much pretesting. Nick From "Re: Emacs release numbering 21.4 vs. 22.1" GDB has a schedule so that developers can plan ahead. In Emacs, developers have to guess when and from where the next release will occur. As Kim says, most have guessed it will be from HEAD. This can be seen from the very small numbers of commits on the RC branch since the release of 21.3. 21.4 won't be a bugfix release, it will be 21.3 updated for Texinfo. I think many users who submitted bug reports and patches over the last year will be disappointed.
