Yeah; it's a balancing with the Ubuntu release around the corner.

discussion if you think I didn't fully get why it is important to have
fwupd 2.1.x in Resolute.

I don't feel any of those features are crucial for resolute.

The main reason to consider it would be that the EoL date for 2.1.x is
further out (https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/security/policy) and thus it
becomes "easier" to support in an LTS release.

Secondary reasons to support are a giant list of more supported hardware and 
bug fixes.  I won't copy and paste all of them here, but you can see at this 
link the bullets that describe this.
https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/releases/tag/2.1.1

The risks associated with the bump are of course regressions.  Upstream has an 
emulation test suite that simulates updates on a lot of devices though, so this 
is less risky than it has been in the past. I will also say that at least from 
an upstream hat the release has been out for two weeks, and no one has 
complained.  When there are major regressions, the faster moving distros (IE 
Arch, Rawhide and Gentoo) have very vocal complaints in days.

Note: I'm not arguing one way or the other, just trying to provide all
information for this decision.
