I tried this a while ago, trying to convert 2.2 i386 binary disc 2 to
2.2r2. It worked okay, but I ended up pulling almost 125 MB from the
rsync server, so I don't think I'll do it again.
It takes longer to do the full pseudo-image pull, but it's much kinder
to the network.
(Admittedly, I was going from 2.2 -> 2.2r2. I doubt that 2.2r2 ->
2.2r3 would be so big. In fact, I think I'll try it as soon as a
close mirror has got it.)
