By the time of this writing, the CVS tree tagging for the RELENG_2_2_0
branch has just finished...  which means, the finalization of 2.2R has
now been moved off the main development line.  Only minor modificat-
ions are being expected before the alpha and beta stages will happen.
(Well, 2.2 already had a fairly long beta stage by now, and it was in
big danger to become ``the longest beta cycle of the world''. :-)

Yes.  People like you are those who 2.1.6 is targeted for.

2.2.6 is not very likely at all.
