I think you misunderstand: v21.2 will be the bug-fix version produced
from the EMACS_21_1_RC branch, not from the development trunk.  So
it's not alpha-level, it should be approximately as stable as v21.1.

It's up to Richard to decide how to conduct the pretest, but I'd hope
the pretest for 21.2 could be short, since we tried very hard to add
only safe bugfixes.  (It remains to be seen whether we succeeded ;-)
