Well as I see it, then at least (K)ubuntu, Debian[1] which release for
the moment 21.4 as the standard Xemacs version[2], have to
change to 21.5. Do you think 21.5 is stable enough for mainstream?

BTW much more important: did the  xsymbol-patch, you sent me
some time ago, enter into 21.5. It is a very important patch
:-D

     release 21.5 in there unstable branch, but they refused.
