Not really.

What we have *now* is:

* 2.1-STABLE will become 2.1-RELEASE
* 2.2-CURRENT aka "the Bleeding Edge(tm)". 

What we will [probably] have is

* 2.2-CURRENT become 2.2-STABLE after 2.1-RELEASE is out. It is intended to
  be 2.2-RELEASE one day. 

When 2.2-STABLE begins its life, 2.3-CURRENT will begin and so on. 

Note as I'm   not part of   the core team  so what   is above  are only  my
thoughts, they may want to change the numbers :-)
