I've certainly no problem in theory with : doing SNAPs along both branches. Well,the earlier query said that 2.2 was already due out by the end of this summer(Septemberish)...it's been almost six months since 2.1R hit the FTP sites,so if there is an every-six-months frequency,one would expect 2.1.1 to be imminent,and 2.2 not to be with us until near year-end...yet 2.1.1 has no SNAP like the ones that showed 2.1R was imminent,while 2.2 is rumored for months ahead of what would be expected...
