Well,there certainly seem to be a lot of listed differences between
2.2.1 and 2.2.2.(The CDROM 2.2.2 is identical to the FTP 2.2.2,
unlike 2.1.6 where the CDROM was really 2.1.6.1?)

Even before 2.2.2 documentation was telling us that the RELENG strain
was building towards 2.2.5 as a next release goal,so I don't know what
room there would be for a release before that!
I gather 2.2.5 is a couple months off and 3.0R a bit further.
