This sounds like a good mix to me. And, even though the agenda for #1 doesn't 'officially' include all of the new features in 2.2 - that doesn't mean that questions couldn't be taken and answered later. If we ran through a list of the new features at the beginning of the session, then that could pique peoples interest to follow up later.
