Well, your ability with English is certainly better than my

I assume that you mean "discouraged". Ordering a Subscription would not
make any sense to the publisher when they have long been told that 2.1.5,
(and 2.1.6, 2.1.7, etc.) were each the last of the 2.1 series.

I do hope that you have a CD of at least one of the 2.1 series.

What would you think of the idea of future 2.1 series available on CD
only in source form? We might be able to get those changes included as an
archive on the 2.2 CD's.
