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?). -- Kim F.
