Well there are a bunch of tests that need to happen first, but it would seem to point that way, eh? 8)

exciting
-
I would give it at least a week if not two just to see if anything else shakes out from in-house testing, plus feedback from external testers in the forum.

even more exciting! ;D :o

So much for waiting for a stability period to expire… ;D
-
To be fair… an RC kinda is a "testing for stability"-release
-
I'm aware of that, but the RC process has exposed a lot of issues which were fixed. Some major functionality wasn't even working during the RC until right near the end. In our process, once we reach zero bugs then we continue to test and wait for external testing reports from partners. Only after a short period (~1-2 weeks) with no more reported issues will we release.

We still have to test it internally, of course.

I'll not eat the minstrels just yet then. :P

That's effectively exactly what we've done. We've been down to 1 bug of consequence for a week, and one that we have full test cases to validate. That's been fixed for a couple days, and it'll be 3 or 4 more until we get through internal release testing, so end result is we'll be at 0 for near a week by release and only 1 for a week prior to that.

Seems 2.2-RC releases after 2015-01-16 is set for final release of 2.2 -> https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/6434d5be0cb450c5d70fedfd4cbdb232adf9d824

Yes, that's what Chris posted above..

You should report bugs in https://redmine.pfsense.org/

I see that as well, but if you press CTRL+L to refresh the view it cleans it up enough to select the right item.

You're taking a snapshot from a brief moment in-time, and extrapolating. We're not ever going to wait for "zero bugs", because then we would never release. We've been in a highly-stable state for over a week now.
We've been testing like mad since October 2014. (I've been running 2.2 in various forms since April.) Testing occurred prior to this, of course, but the effort has been much more focused since October.
But yes, the 'cut' has happened. What started in October 2013 may finally release soon.
2.2 has been a long, difficult process. The move to FreeBSD 10(.1) (with the other changes that brought, such as unbound) is a huge step up, but has been challenging. When we started (Oct 2013), FreeBSD 10 wasn't even released, yet.
The move to strongswan (for a much better / more complete IPsec setup) has been challenging as well. The CARP re-write caused some issues. Even the AES-NI / AES-GCM work has required more effort than initially scoped. By contrast, the move to PHP-FPM was relatively painless.
Other than the internal testing, (and fixing anything critical it exposes) we're done with development for 2.2, and the focus is now on 2.2.1 and 2.3.
In particular, I'd like to fix the issues around IPV6 and 'pf' for 2.2.1 (as well as fix a plethora of other issues, all tagged 2.2.1 in redmine.) There are a handful of issues related to IPsec that are also targeted for 2.2.1.
We also have to fix the issues with PBIs. (At this point, nobody else in the FreeBSD world uses them.)
