Today, three days after the netbsd-2-0 branch, the differences will
be small, and what's more, nearly everything that's been commited to
current these last few days will end up in the release, so that
doesn't matter much. When you next update via cvs, use "-rnetbsd-2-0"
to switch over to the branch.

Same as above. The last two errors look like a mistake in the build
script. I take the fact that there are no more of those, as evidence
that the mistake's been fixed, and the machines are busy grinding
away at netbsd-2-0.

current-users is the list to discuss issues with tracking current
*and* with tracking the branches, as the issues and techniques are
generally the same.

Not really. Just know that if you have fixes for FPE or anything else
that you want to see in 2.0, the time to submit them is right now.
