I'm fine with pushing 2.3. But, I had a conversation on the list with someone who feared upgrading to 2.2 because it wasn't GA. This was, apparently, a company policy. They need a feature that is available in 2.2but will not upgrade because it is not GA. If we do not make 2.2 GA then their company policy will continue to hold them up. I guess I don't see a reason why we wouldn't make it GA. It has been available for some time with fewer bugs than 2.1.7. If I were to blow off any release I'd blow off 2.1.7 because it conatins more bugs than 2.2.

My vote is to leave it the way it is. My conservative, pragmatic and adventurous sides are all satisfied by having a single GA release as well as the latest "Beta" release available for download. 2.2 is available in the past releases if people want it.
