Thanks for the info, Christian.

Do you mean that the code we would write for 2.2.x will need to be changed
for 2.3.x?  Or just that 2.3 is more functional than 2.2?  I ask because it
may not be an option to move straight to 2.3 yet, so we will have to make a
decision about which version to target if they are different.
