Yes, in short, they will be lost completely.

I opened an issue for that [1], and I already wrote some code to extract the prefs from the 2.2.0 LDAP data base, but as I am not a php programmer, I have no idea how to push them into 2.2.2.  Some people promised to support me, but I never any feedback since then.

So, in short, if you already have a running 2.2.0 installation, this means that *all* users have to enter *all* prefs again, which IMHO is a blocker.  If you can improve the situation, this would really be welcome.

Unfortunately, 2.2.2 has more bugs, e.g. #3555 also seems to be a blocker to me, and there has not been any progress since ages.

Best, Albrecht.
