1) because 2.2 is still not finalised
2) even when it is, it will be a few more years until actual legislation
references it (for fun, Section 508 in the US still references WCAG 2.0)
3) just like 2.1, 2.2 extends the previous spec ... so (with the
exception of 4.1.1 which will be deprectated in 2.2) any SC currently in
2.1 will still be part of 2.2

Hope that helps ;)
