svn 2950 was the last revision we had in the subversion tree on sourceforge. We 
have since moved to git on userspace.selinuxproject.org. There was never a 
release rolled from that revision in subversion as far as I know. Therefore yes, 
it does not officially exist, except as the first checkin to our git tree, and 
was not released as stable.
