Actually, RELENG_2_2 is a bit unusual since it is the last of the a.out
systems, and there are people still stuck with it.  Doing best-effort fixes
there does help some folks.  But RELENG_3 has no such redeeming features.
4.x is what 3.x should have been and lived way longer than it should have
(and caused lots of pain and suffering in the process).

If it wasn't for historical value, I'd love to detag the branch that it is
on. Or at least rename them or something.

Cheers,
