   As of the latest revision of the SI, Boltzmann's constant   
   is just another conversion factor between units.   
      
   There is no longer any physical content to it,

   The Kelvin equals   
   20.836 619 123 327 576 GHz (exactly)   
   so 21 GHz as a practical round number for easy practical memorability.   
   Hence Bolzmann's constant equals ~21 GHz/Kelvin
