While I was being really intrigue with IPB developers releasing their version 2.2 RC1, I am reminded of our Olympus. Though this is not a race to who gets the better BBS out, I feel almost like running on one.
Any how, my real question is that in the Mod Release Forum at phpBB.com, the lastest updated mod does not even have [2.0.21] next to it like most mods. Are the phpBB staff teams going to plan to stop phpBB2 at v.2.0.21?
I am thinking of this because if there is no plan for a new release update, then those mods are the final mods for phpBB2, correct?
The [no version] next to the mod is a hint that it is plan to be stopped at phpbb 2.0.21; so Olympus can be the next center of focus! So my guess is that the developers are planning on releasing Olympus soon enough.
A hint to show the closeness of releasing phpBB3!

Re: A hint to show the closeness of releasing phpBB3!
They've said many times that phpbb2 will continue to be supported for some time yet. There are simply too many forums out there running it to just finish there. 2.0.22 will come out as and when it's needed. Updates tend to come with security fixes so if an exploit is found in .21 then a fix will be made and .22 will be released.
Checking which version a MOD runs on is entirely up to the MOD writer.

Yeah, i can't seem them abandoning updates on 2.x for awhile. So many people have heavily-modded forums and won't (like me) be ready to upgrade to Olympus until the MODs are updated to become compatible.
