rev-upgrade could still be improved to get faster in the step scanning
for binary files. It currently does lot of I/O walking through files
although this could be done in the activation phase where we know which
files are being installed.

However, such improvements could also be moved to 2.2.0 to avoid any
delays for 2.1.0. I think the speed of the post-install/post-upgrade is
good enough for now.
