yes 2.2r3 is out.  its release has been immenant for a while now, it
was mainly waiting for the updated boot-floppies and kernels to get
built for other archs (powerpc).  

the point releases don't tend to get annouced, or at least right away
since they are really quite boring.   the majority of updates are just
merging all the security updates since r2 into the main distribution
and out of security.debian.org, so that r3 CDs won't ship with 30
security holes out of the box.   there are a couple fixes for out of
sync or severely broken packages but most of it is security merges.
