-    Has any one out there converted from 2.1.? to 2.2 yet ?

No ditroff.  Two major bonuses with 2.2:
  1) shl (yeah!!!)
  2) non-standard disk support.  You can spec # cyl, # head, # sec, etc.
You also get 8 bit data path on serial lines.  I don't know what it's
good for, but make sure you put CS8 and ISTRIP in /etc/gettydefs if you
expect uucp to work.  They forgot to document this.
