Well, 2.2 modules for the most part should be source-compatible with 2.0. Certain subsystems have changed dramatically (auth being the prime example I can think of), but I wouldn't expect every module to have to change to support 2.2. (This is, again, taking my perspective that what we have in HEAD is roughly what should be in 2.2 modulo testing.) Ideally, once we start producing 2.2 releases on a regular basis, we won't be producing 2.0 releases on such a regular basis. -- justin
