We discussed jumping to 0.20.5 (either have 0.20.4 as a bug fix release only or skipping it entirely) instead of continuing with 0.20.4 that breaks compatibility. 0.21 means it works on Hadoop 0.21, we binded ourselves to that, so it's not really an option.
I'm +1 on a 0.20.4 that breaks backward compatibility if we advertise it as such, like using a size 72 warning in bright blinking characters (not really). Also it wouldn't be the first time we aren't able to keep it compatible and until 1.0 I don't really mind it that much.
