Right. I put the "+" in square brackets because, knowing that
fedora-21 is EOL, I assumed that they meant to include more recent
releases too (as they indicated with the "+" on the other linux
spins).
I am curious as to what's in FC21+, but not in ~FC19, that might be
about to cause things to break. I looked through the various
discussions linked from:
<http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2015/12/beta-channel-update.html>
but didn't see anything obvious, but it may be too early for the
changes to be mentioned.
