I think this is going to cause user confusion due to the previous "lockstep versioning" that HBase has had with regard to Hadoop. I think many people will assume they need to use Hadoop 0.21 (being billed as an unstable release at least for 0.21.0) and generally not quite understand why our version number is the same if we have no tie to the Hadoop version. So, I am generally -1 on calling this next HBase release 0.21.0. I think there is going to be some level of confusion no matter what and calling our next as-proposed unstable release series 0.21 makes sense to me at least. - Andy
