I agree - there's also the possibility that there will be additional patches needed to fix a bug in code that's just not relevant for 2.2 (this is less likely), or an alternate fix might be needed that's not as thorough as one in 2.2 (where there's a large fix, a smaller workaround might be more appropriate for 2.1.2)

Yup -- this was the case for the profile.py patch (which took a life of its own in 2.2 :-).
