There are 4 outstanding security advisories for 2.2.6, while there are none for 2.2.8. So if you're going to use 2.2.6 you have some patching ahead of you. The upgrade to 2.2.8 is generally seamless, so I suggest it. I do *NOT* suggest upgrading to 3.1 due to the complex configuration and binary type issues.
