Of late, I've found the True / False introduction in later 2.2 releases to be a pain. I'm writing code on a machine that has 2.2.2, but I occasionally run into machines with earlier versions of 2.2 and then my code fails. It would be easier if it didn't work on any 2.2 release, then I wouldn't be lulled into thinking it will work.

Just to add: while this can be worked around in code, it's extremely tedious both to add those workarounds, and to remove them when they're no longer necessary. I think it's generally not a good idea to do it.
