There are no longer any active development for releases on the 2.0 and 2.1 branches, and if any y2k bugs are found, I doubt they will be fixed in these releases, although the patches used to fix it in the 2.2 and 3.0 branches will in all likelihood apply for the earlier releases as well. Our current release on the 2.2 branch is 2.2.6, with 2.2.7 and possibly 2.2.8 planned in the future. These three releases are pretty certain to receive any y2k fixes we find. 3.0 is our current development branch and all patches (y2k or not) goes into this branch. Summary: any release before 2.2.6 should be upgraded to 2.2.6 or later no only because of y2k issues, but also stability, security and good ol' plain bugfixing.
