A few things I've noticed: 

1) When I compile a kernel from the RELENG_2_2 source tree, I get a
'FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE' kernel. 

2) The top of... 

 ftp://releng22.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2-970826-RELENG/RELNOTES.TXT
       ^^^^^^^^                         ^^^        ^^^^^^
says... 
                         RELEASE NOTES
                   FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE BRANCH

3) In 'stable-supfile' ... 

# The following line is for 2.1-stable.  If you want 2.2-stable, change
# "RELENG_2_1_0" to "RELENG_2_2".

----------------

So, although I have yet to read something to the effect of "the RELENG_2_2
branch IS FreeBSD-stable", it sure looks that way to me.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
