Why? If we were in the 2.2.2-STABLE branch right now, it might make some sense. But we're not. We're in 2.2-STABLE. It's a development branch, not a specific release, and the naming scheme fits the development paradigm rather well I think. There is no 2.2.5 branch where a -stable tree could be tracked, its just a specific release from the 2.2 branch. So 2.2.5-stable wouldn't make any sense. Murray Stokely
