Yes they added 21mm and 24mm Summiluxes, but they also added Super Elmars 
(f3.4) lenses in those focal lengths. The 21mm SEM was much cheaper and 
higher quality than the Elmarit asph (I sold mine, only Leica item I have 
done that with), not sure about the 24mm.

Well its comparative. These lenses cost a couple of grand more or less.
That's a break over the new fast lenses that have been announced  this 
decade now that Leica has been saved. This decade the 21mm, 28mm24mm f/1.4 
Summilux-M's both cost close to six or seven grand. With the Elmarits taken 
out of the catalog at the time.
