Yes, I think we can do that (I was assuming that was the plan anyway).

Can you tell us what the earliest release we should put in 2.2.0 is?  
And roughly what date we can target? If we don't have time to do 2.2.0  
and 2.2.1, I guess we could do:

Seam 2.2.0.BETA1 - Wednesday 22nd April
Seam 2.2.0.CR1 - Wednesday 13th May
Seam 2.2.0  - Wednesday 17th June

Tom and Anne-Louise, how do these dates fit your respective schedules?
