As usual :-/, it has slipped a bit.

Anyway, we're finally making progress.  It has been deferred for just
one reason: we knew that the ahc driver had some problems for quite a
serious number of people that justified to not release it until at
least the most annoying of them have been resolved.  Alas, the only
guy who's ``in it'', Justin Gibbs, had to change his employer and move
across half of the US.  Now he has arrived at his final destination,
has got a job that is related to SCSI and FreeBSD (:-), and has been
doing the long-awaited commits.

We settled for 2.2-GAMMA on monday, though i figured Jordan was a
little premature and has already renamed it to GAMMA this morning...
The first GAMMA SNAP should already be available, expect some more
commits from me over the weekend.

Of course, the final date for 2.2R heavily depends on positive or
negative feedback to 2.2-GAMMA.
