Depends on what repositories you have enabled. The ones for SUSE
releases will only contain security and such fixes. Not new releases.
However, there are also repositories with new things. Like KDE. There is
also a Mozilla repository that is for new releases. It would seem fully
consistent to put the 2.0 release there.

But that gets back to a question I posted a few weeks back: how do you
find out who is responsible for a given repository? I would not even
know who to contact to offer help/testing to keep a repository
up-to-date or report problems.
