.21 still has quite a few rough edges.  The current plan is to move
straight to .22 for FC6 shortly after it's release.
I'm assuming you're after the tickless work?  Still unsure whether to
enable that by default as an FC6 update.  Perhaps we'll try it for
the first test update, see what the fallout is like, and if it looks
scary, compile it in, but off-by-default.
