Which is the higher release 20277.1(fe) or 20227.1000(rs). Can somebody tell me and make sense of this complete insanity? I am not stupid and been an Insider for 5 years yet I can't make heads or tails out of the header for this thread I think the emoji's should speak in differential equations myself.
Installed build 20277 last night then updated it to 21277 today. 52 minutes to the desktop with no problems seen so far.
I do wish that Microsoft would get rid of their obsession with emojis though
One machine for 20277 another for 21277. So far, so good. Why did they do this? I've looked over the Windows Insider Blog posts and I still don't get it. Somebody 'splain it to me, plz.

First a minor typo in your post's first line [should read 21277 (rs)]. Now, regarding your question, I am just like you trying to make sense of all this confusion. The best I could come up with:
In past, there were multiple development branches or release channels of Windows 10 Insider Preview builds such as Slow Ring, Fast Ring, Release Preview and Skip Ahead. First the upcoming Windows 10 feature update builds were provided for testing under Fast Ring and when they were thoroughly tested, the builds were released to Insiders under Slow Ring and then Release Preview ring. Skip Ahead was an exclusive development channel for Windows 10 which provided latest Alpha builds of Windows 10 which contained latest features under development. These builds were taken from Microsoft's active development branch called "RS_PRERELEASE".A few months back, Microsoft decided to discontinue "Skip Ahead" branch and Insiders were left with only 3 development channels: Slow Ring, Fast Ring and Release Preview.
Now Microsoft has decided to revamp "Fast Ring" development branch. Microsoft will release latest Windows 10 testing builds from active development branch (RS_PRERELEASE and MN_RELEASE) to Fast Ring similar to Skip Ahead channel. These builds will contain latest features and changes under development. Remember these feature may be or not a part of upcoming Windows 10 feature updates.
You can also check at the very bottom of this same article to more or less get a better understanding of the recent two releases:

Not sure if I like the new "updated animation when opening or closing a window to make the transition smoother" Anyone found a way of turning it off?
