I would actually write the patch for 2.1.x - which is what I'm currently
running.  I assume (maybe wrongly) that TriLUG would like to upgrade
once version 2.1.0 reaches 2.1.1.  There are features in 2.1 that we use
- only we use work-arounds to get those features (scripts which give us
the same functionality).
