Well, I'm not sure if we have a couple of weeks (we're already 7 days
late on just the "BETA") but I've released a 2.1-960627-SNAP today
which I hope to get some testing on.  It's uploading now and when
the directory permissions are not 700, that means its ready for testing.

I do think the essence of Nate's argument is correct, and I can only
suggest that we do some very *accellerated* testing so that we can
both get this baby out on schedule (David and I are VERY eager to get
back to 2.2 hacking) and make it a good release.
