By their nature, the A3000s can easily run 2.0 by way of the MMU, and can
thus be easily upgraded should any bugs be found.  By their nature, A2000s
require ROMs.  So you won't have the new OS on the 2000 until it is deemed
"bug-free" and is burned into ROM.  The intent is not to keep the new stuff
away from "the faithful", but instead, to provide the most solid 2.0 OS
possible for all Amiga systems.
