It will be several months before a 0.22 release, but whether we do a
0.21.1 release really depends on the severity of any bugs found. We
will backport serious bugfixes to the 0.21 release branch, but we tend
to be gun shy with backporting fixes that haven't been sitting in the
trunk for at least a few weeks first. The packagers usually pick up
fixes in the current stable branch without much additional testing,
so if a piece of code goes into fixes it we need to be fairly sure 
that it doesn't introduce any new bugs.

Anyway, I think you should target the trunk for bug fixes.
