I have the disk space and the bandwidth.  My "To do" list is already 
overflowing.  However, it is in fact one of the things on the "To do" list.
I built the 2.2->2.2.1 binary upgrade by hand by unpacking the -RELEASE 
files and doing a diff --brief on the tree.  Tracking 2.2-STABLE probably 
means running a 2.2-STABLE machine that I am confident of saying "make 
world" on (not that there should be too much to make).

Yes, I'll do it, if someone gives me a hand to work out the best way of 
tracking differences (I, also have not learnt CTM/CVSUP)
