I believe many emacs users are expecting 21.4 be released from the CVS
head as a major feature update.  

To remove that confusion, I suggest that we decide _NOW_ that when CVS
head will eventually be released as 22.1, and that we start preparing
for that now.

We definitely have enough new functionality in the CVS head to justify
upgrading the major number (and I suppose that the unicode branch will
be merged to the trunk before releasing 22.1 -- right?).
