Hey Josh, it's been a while.

Have you built a kernel recently? Check it out:

(andy@speedy)[/home/andy] > uname -a
NetBSD speedy.andy.com 2.0 NetBSD 2.0 (GENERIC) #0: Fri Dec  3
10:36:24 MST 2004 
root@speedy.andy.com:/usr/obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64

2.0 seems to be tagged already, just not announced.
