I also rewrote the desc-line (as per the as-yet-undocumented nomenclature!)
to:
  binutils/binutils: added 2.21.53 snapshot

I'm _usually_ a bit reluctant to adding snapshots, even behind EXPERIMENTAL.
Do you have an idea on the time-frame for binutils 2.22 (or whatever it's
gonna be numbered) ?

If it's comming RSN, then we could wait yet a bit. If not (say, ETA is after
October), then we can keep the snapshot.

The reason I do not really like snapshots is that I would like crosstool-NG
to be as production-ready as possible. And snapshots are not really
production-ready, I think.

Of course, there are some places (eg. uClibc) where snapshots are available
to use. uClibc is a different player, as the releases are quite spaced in
time that using a snapshot can be usefull.

Don't get me wrong. I like it that new features get added to crosstool-NG!
I'm just not confident with maintaining unstable stuff. You know, that
24h-in-a-day limitation... ;-)

I'll just probably push it tomorrow. I'll sleep on it. ;-)

Thank you!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
