SMF 2.1 is not ready for live deployment yet, although IIRC it's getting close.
Kindred:
Version 2.0.2 IS in use on this forum, and is available for download. Version 2.1 is not yet ready for deployment...

It was live here during part of the development phase, but not during the "alpha" stage (which is where SMF 2.1 is at right now), and the source code wasn't available to everyone until the first public beta (which I believe was around Beta 3 for SMF 2.0).
SMF 2.1 will be installed here once we feel it's stable enough to do so. With lots of changes being made right now, it's just not a good time to install 2.1 here.
In short, SMF is a lot more open now than it ever has been in the past. You can see what we're working on and see what changes we're making as they're made. In the past you had to wait until we told you what we'd done and/or released something to the public.

I was sure 2 was live here in Alpha although I never tried it until beta. TBH the beta length put me right off them

AFAICS from the internet archive, sm.org has always used a development version of the code since the very beginning. Though things are a bit different now (for example we are using SimpleDesk and in order to use a development release we need to make sure SD works with the code we are working on), additionally the only team member of the site team is currently on-hiatus, so we cannot (and I would not...and I'm pretty sure many other (like someone with a dark avatar :P) people would not) force a potentially insecure release on the site without being sure we can fix any issue we find timely.
