2.1.2 would be a better choice, unless you also object to people fixing bugs
for you <wink>.

I expect PythonLabs will continue wrapping up bugfix releases in the 2.1.x
series for as long as someone volunteers to produce them.  At the moment,
2.1.2 is the end of that line, as 2.1.2 was the last 2.1.x release to
attract a volunteer.  The longer someone waits to start on a 2.1.3, the
harder it will be to sort through, and backport, relevant fixes now going
into 2.2.1 (which Michael Hudson is producing) and 2.3 (where most current
development occurs).
