You might want to direct such questions to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. Neither 2.2-RELEASE nor 2.1.7-RELEASE are "current" nor "stable"; both are releases (albeit both are more or less stable, and they are the latest releases). There are two "stable" branches, one for 2.2 (which contains fixes to the latest release of 2.2) and one for 2.1.7. "current" or, more exactly, "3.0-current" is the current development branch which is heavily being worked on, and will not be generally useful as a production environment.
