No, but it gives me a clear signal what can be the origin of my problem. > One of the reasons it was done is to eliminate double work.

It isn't a problem anymore, with Nexus on our side is just few steps to prepare a release ;-) > Another is that it's hard to know whether something is *really* GA > until it gets beat on for a while.

Yep, that's the one of the reasons I have, another is that we fixed 41 bugs of total 50 assigned to 2.2.2 version. The most important are done, the rest is related to JSONPlugin (not everyone uses) or development improvement. Few users requested a new release, especially that the most important bugs are done. So I can just postpone those bugs and prepare a new release or start a new thread about changing labeling. Hmmm.... preparing a new release will be faster ;-) Besides it's more about promoting a release. I was asking about that sometime ago. It would be great to promote Betas or RCs without calling for a Vote. I was looking for that discussion about labeling but didn't find, could you help and point to the right direction ? Maybe it was on PMC group ?
