I'm running current so I can say it is better. :-)

Keep in mind that I'm not part of the core team  and as such I cannot speak
for them but  I can say as much:  1.1.5 will be the  last release  based of
Net/2 and   will  be the last    encumbered release  of  FreeBSD.  They got
permission  from  USL to  build   that last  release  with  all  the  files
encumbered in source form (not in binary .o files like BSDI).

FreeBSD 2.x will be based of 4.4BSD-Lite.

1.1.5 alpha is being built just now  so expect 1.1.5 to  hit the streets at
the end of the month [roughly]. Wait for official announcements...
