Hm.

C-x C-f ~/.bbdb RET C-x RET f latin-9 RET C-x C-s

Who knows?  I'm sure even the people doing the work don't know.  Such
is (often) the nature of free software: people do the work when they
have time.

But I can say that 21.3 is planned as a bugfix release.  Then people
are working on 21.4.  And Emacs 22 will surely come after that.  So
don't hold your breath.
