yes, it runs 2.0-release.
do you now how soon ?  I mean is it two weeks or more than a month ? :)
I ask this because, I'm used to cvsuping often /usr/src and it just
never compiles the whole thing (I use -rnetbsd-2-0)... So I'm wondering
if I synchronise with the right branch or if there are so many things to
correct before next release (I noticed releng is not releasing things
for a while)
