You're right Pierrick.
The only problem being that we have only 1 stable branch.
And i'm not sure we have enough strengths to have 2 :-(

I announced when releasing 2.2.5 that it would be the last 2.2 with some 
new features. 2.2.6 was supposed to be bugfix only.
Hélas, joshua & chris hacked a lot of things here (why ? I don't know. 
Maybe it's to introduce new features that can't wait for 3.0), thus my 
"problem".
(The next problem will be to port the improvements to head...)

I think we had better stay with rel_2_2 branch code. But i'll tag the 
2.4.0 with a 2.4.0 tag.

Question to chris & joshua : do you think you'll add new features after 
2.4.0 or can you promise you'll work only on HEAD ? ;-)

(that would be the best solution, imho)
