[Serrano Pereira (serrano-pereira)]

I see one major problem with upgrading to FANN 2.2.0. That is, most language bindings haven't been updated for FANN 2.2.0 (see http://leenissen.dk/fann/wp/language-bindings/). Things like PyFANN for Python and AI-FANN for Perl would no longer be available, which would be a huge downside.

I would prefer both options (FANN 2.1.0 + language bindings, or FANN 2.2.0 + few language bindings) to be available in Ubuntu.
