Just verifying that that SNAP(should it be called 2.2.8.1?)

Why do you draw that conclusion?

If some really * bug is found in 2.2.8.x (such as major
security problem), then a patch will be committed to the
2.2.8.x branch and released for general consumption. Will
a new release, 2.2.8.y, be generated and distributed by Walnut
Creek. Probably not.

Will there general development and back porting of 3.x enhancements?
No.

I don't expect it to be CDROMmed,but would it be maintained
on the ftp.freebsd.org servers?2.1.7.1-RELEASE disappeared
after a while,with no real declaration as to when fixes would
no longer be offered anywhere...just a vague statement that
only desperately needed bugfixes would still be done on RELENG_2_1
as of some time before the disappearance.

Just when there is a "final state" seems a useful point.

: No.

Didn't expect so.

Checkout cvsup. You should be able to pull down the 2.1.7.1-RELEASE
if you know the repository tag. Again, checkout cvsup and
share/examples/cvsup which list valid tags.
