Umm.. 2.1 was certantly NOT rewritten from scratch.. There is a patch from 2.0.28 -> 2.1.0 and it's not that huhg (but it does touch a lot of files).
Sure, a lot was changed big time, and some subsystems were rewritten, but that was done throught the 2.1 line.
A patch was not provided from 2.0.37 to 2.2 because they had drifted far enough apart that the patch would have been larger.
