I was travelling, so missed this thread originally.

My[1] organization is currently not using CouchDB 2.0 in production due to
a series of regressions in all 2.x releases that have meant that 1.6.1 was
the most stable for us. All of the currently-known issues are fixed on
master, and we're currently evaluating a nightly build to verify. It would
be really nice if there was a 2.2 release so that we could get those fixes
in the form of a formal build (note that we sponsored some of the work on
those fixes, hoping that a release would get turned around relatively
quickly afterwards).

A regular release cadence would be really nice.

Cheers,
Eli

[1] - I should note that I've quit that company, so I'm no longer formally
associated.
