Folks,

making a 2.2.1 release has been coming up a few times and I'm thinking
we should just snapshot current master for that. We've been fixing
quite a number of things since 2.2, yet there aren't any larger new
features yet (GRE tunnel decapsulation being the only one I can think
of right now).

I'd wait for two more things though:

    - Merging, and some testing, of Jon's recent file analysis
    framework API changes that make the file handle management more
    efficient.

    - Figuring out the exec and/or sumstats problems (it looks certain
    at this point that exec isn't cleaning up fully; and sumstats may
    have a larger than expected CPU impact, but that's not clear yet I
    believe).

Once 2.2.1 is out, I'd then next work on merging my dynamic plugin
code, which is mostly ready but needs cleanup, review, documentation,
testing.

How does that sound? If good, now would also be the time to finalize
any other minor fixes that people might want to see in 2.2.1.
