Thanks for bringing this up.

Well 21.4 was a quiet security fix minor release for the movemail format string
vulnerability (also fixed in emacs-21.3-21).

It seems the next major release will now be numbered 22.1
but we'll have to wait a little longer yet for that I guess.

Good question: since there seems to be quite a bit of confusion
around the version numbering of the next major release,
I wonder if it isn't better to just keep emacs at 21.3 for fc4
unless the major release should be ready in time...  In addition
the documentation in 21.4 still refers to 21.3.
