A better thing to think about is how big is the delta between 2.0.2 and=20
2.0.0. It's not too big but it includes a number of important fixes. Like=
=20
the fix for INSTALL kernel location. :-)

With 2.0.0., NetBSD went to a new numbering scheme. The next major release=
=20
will be 3.0, not 2.1. 2.1 will be a with-feature release, comparable to=20
1.6.1 or 1.6.2 in relation to 1.6. 2.0.X, of which 2.0.2 is the first=20
(2.0.1 got tagged but didn't get released), is a "critical updates only"=20
release. A system running 2.0.0 should be easy to update to 2.0.2.

The upshot is that the cool features will be showing up in either 2.1 or,=
=20
when it's out, 3.0. The 2.0.X branch will see very few optional=20
improvements.

Take care,

Bill
