...Switching repositories last time was a pain. Switching to a 2.2 repository will also be a pain, and that pain has to be worth it, and at present I do not see any proposals being made (that is, people proposing to implement proposals) that actually require this 2.2 repository...
I see your point - OTOH, we *know* things are going to happen, so switching during this relatively quiet period might be easier.
