Yes. Please leave this for a while. 2.2.1 is only required to fix a few
bugs, not to build and run the compiler. I think its enough to just
update the recommended version for now.
Those that care enough about those bugs can then go and get the new
version, the rest of us can happily plod along without having to touch
every machine again.
