So far, 2.2 has been as stable as 2.1 for me in the areas that I used 2.1 
for.  I've used some of the new features in 2.2, but not many.  One thing I 
like to regularly do is read through the ITS reports to see what issues 
others are experiencing.  We are using 2.2 on our production servers, and 
it has worked out just fine.

The main thing I've noticed about 2.2 is a 127% performance increase over 
2.1 simply keeping the same configuration.  SASL/GSSAPI workings in 
particular are much faster.
