If anyone agrees, please consider chiming in on the >above thread ([0]). There's multiple fixes that affects lots of stakeholders, so I'm more inclined to release 1.22 sooner rather than later. If anyone has cycles right now to work on that detached BTF feature, releasing 1.23 as soon as that feature is complete and tested shouldn't be a problem. Then 1.23 the mandatory minimal version.
