Yeah, fair play - It's just that whether that bug fix release is 2.1.1
(once anything marked critical for 2.2.0 is done) or 2.2.0.GA, but that
depends on timeframe.
I think the timeframe is fairly short for AS 5. It was supposed to be
last Friday. There are still a lot of other projects still outstanding,
so it has slipped to ???. But I definitely feel Dimitris' pain; he needs
to get the external dependencies locked down.
