What's wrong with using a branch for bugfixes in 21.4?
The point of keeping a pending release on the trunk is to make sure it
gets a lot of testing. If 21.4 is released, then it's gonna be
reasonably solid, so there seems little point to having it hang around
on the trunk Just In Case; using a branch to fix those bugs that creep
into the release (and which are deemed serious enough to warrant another
minor release) seems quite reasonable.
