Only question is whether to specify a 0 for the 0th maintenance. Not a big deal though, I've setup the following release branch:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/lang/branches/LANG_2_1_BRANCH the naming matches the syntax we used for 1.0 when making 1.0.1. I know it could be a lot better (especially as SVN doesn't barf on . as CVS does), but I'm going with consistency for the moment. I'll start tweaking that towards a release. Trunk is 2.2-dev now.
