Maybe I should start using the release branch for Mac releases after you are done with it for the Unix/Windows release. As there is an r22b1 tag to point to the exact revision used for the release there should be no adverse consequences. What do you think?

As before, I think there should be only a single 2.2b1 release. If you need to provide binaries, use what was released in the 2.2b1 source distribution (which is not the Unix release, it is the source distribution).

What do your users lose if they have to get 2.2b1 as-is (ie. without further patches)? It may have bugs, sure - but so does the 2.2b1 release for everybody else. There will be a 2.2b2 release, so whatever you commit now will appear in 2.2b2.

I think these release schedules are there for a purpose.
