Subject: Upcoming 2.0-RELEASE


> I'm not sure if this is the right list to ask this question, but how come
the next release is named 2.0-Release instead of 1.7? NetBSD has always been
very 'conservative' with version numbers, so what are the major breakthrough
changes that justify taking this step?

Take a look at http://www.netbsd.org/Changes/changes-2.0.html
The list of changes between 1.6 & 2.0 is impressing :)
From my POV better POSIX support including native pthreads library is very
significant difference.
