Well, in the last half year there has been a major patchkit release, 2 NetBSD
releases and a FreeBSD release. I don't think Linus does the SLS releases...
I guess Linus is more actively involved with group development than Bill is
though. I sure hope that will make 0.2 a better product, not a worse one.
Somehow, better seems more likely... since this is the way Bill works best.
