It's there - you need to scroll down a bit on the page. (Look under
"Final Release" - that means FCS quality supported versions.

Nope. That's a promoted build - the latest of which is build 56, which
is what I'm currently running. Pretty stable, though the error logs get
a little wordy. All versions of v3 except Prelude are JSF 2.0.

s/Preview/Beta - that may help you understand what Preview is (it's a
beta), and why although you shouldn't support it for production, you
should get ready to, since it's what will eventually become the Java EE
6 FCS release, which we'll hopefully just call v3. (and that will
happen before the end of the year, so, pretty soon)

Out of curiousity, have you tried it with 2.0? As I said, it *should*
work - even with the interesting stuff that they're doing for ajax and
comet. Not that they'll answer questions if it breaks - they need to
limit themselves for supported platforms, or else they'll never get any
work done.
But even if it doesn't work, this should help:

Note that although they tested ICEFaces with Prelude updated to 2.0, you
could also (presumably) use Preview updated to the latest 2.0 release.
