Out of curiosity, since 2.2 hasn't had a release in 3 years, and the last 
prepatch was 2 years ago, why is its' status still on the kernel.org main 
page?

Not exactly something people are checking the status of on a daily basis...

Just wondering...

I assume because it's a handy place to the the current 2.2 kernel, which 
some people run for reasons which are valid to them.

*shrug*  I understand that people still run it, and I'm not saying they 
shouldn't.

My question was more along the lines of "is there anybody who's still running 
it who doesn't know where to find it?", and "why have a status tracker on the 
main page for something that hasn't changed in years?"
