This appears to be correct, and i think we should approve this erratum.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8017/#page-77  says that this is the
only change from 2.1 to 2.2:

~~~
   Version 2.2:

      Version 2.2 updates the list of allowed hashing algorithms to
      align them with FIPS 180-4 [SHS], therefore adding SHA-224,
      SHA-512/224, and SHA-512/256.  The following substantive changes
      were made:

      *  Object identifiers for sha224WithRSAEncryption,
         sha512-224WithRSAEncryption, and sha512-256WithRSAEncryption
         were added.

      *  This version continues to support the schemes in version 2.1.
~~~

Does anyone else have a different understanding?
