The question is who has told you this. :)

I'd say, it depends.  If you're operating something like
wcarchive.cdrom.com, 2.1.6.1 is certainly for you.  OTOH, i'm using
2.2 systems even in business environments for almost a year now.  Of
course, there have been minor oddities (the worst being one machine
with a broken shell), but nothing totally fatal that i could attribute
to the development-branch versions.

The machines in question are personal workstations, primary DNS server
for customers, WWW servers for customers, routers, etc.
