I am still looking at several regressions in git over 2.2.10, so no,
a release right now (as opposed to in a couple of weeks, hopefully)
would make me rather unhappy.

Also, I would prefer a release with this patch series in, at least if
the series is in mergeable shape in the near future.

A higher number could help notify people that more new bugs have crept
in, certainly.  ;-)  The w32 support requires Automake support to be
really usable though, and we're still working on that.  I had kinda
hoped that there could at least an Automake beta that carries that work.

OTOH, since I hope to have more larger changes in the future, I'm not
sure we really want another major number bump already.

Cheers,
Ralf
