I am speaking posthumorously (sp?). 2.2-CURRENT was around back in the days when 2.1 was the "stable" branch and before 2.2.0 was released. >What better alphanumeric incremented counter than time itself?

Besides, we save enough characters by dropping "-STABLE" to make up most of the difference. Richard Wackerbarth
