Unfortunately, we will not be able to address problems associated with moving
from 2.0 to 2.2 using the module manager. However, as long as one is starting
from a 2.2 install, it is always possible to switch between 2.0 and 2.2 using
the Module Manager.app. The problem arises when one tries to move from 2.0 or
2.1 to 2.2, due to changes in how the module manager itself works.
Unfortunately, due to errors in the patch checker that were not evident before
the transition to Java 1.6, it is not possible to patch 2.0 or 2.1 to correct
these problems, as the flaw is in the patch checker itself.

Going forward, this error in the patch checker has been fixed, so this should
no longer be a problem... For now, we will simply have to direct users who want
to switch from 2.0 back to 2.2 to use the Module Manager.app instead of using
Tools-->Module Manager.
