It is equally correct to say --

2.2 is the current release.
3.x is currently under development.

It all boils down to the semantic interpretation.

For those "in the know" we could call the head of the
development tree "Rapsody" or "Bliss" or "Danger" or
"Development" or "3.0" or any other code name.

For those who do not "know", "current" is misleading
because they typically want the "CURRENT RELEASE".

This really has absolutely no relation to the buildability
(or lack thereof) of the head development branch.
