It might, but the risk to the codebase will need to be evaluated.  There
are likely individuals with stronger opinions them mine that we should
probably not.  In the worst case, the doscmd team has produced a version
that runs under 2.2.X, and you might want to apply the patches yourself.
I believe that 2.2.X is pretty much feature-frozen.

In reality, it is really the release engineer's decision...  I don't have
the time to do it for quite a while though.
