Okay, those two are up.

Note to those who have been running dated snapshots: 1.4.2 is a formal
release of NetBSD and comes from a parallel version of the sources. In
many ways it is "older" than any dated snapshot from the last year or so.

IMPORTANT!! If you install this onto a machine running 1.4M, 1.4P, or
1.4<letter>, it is probably going to downgrade your machine.

The formal releases deliberately use separate source versions so that we can
filter every change that goes into them. Generally only bug fixes and safe
features (like new drivers that have been tested for a while) are allowed in.
