Well, if  you're waiting for a new release to avoid having to patch, I
suspect that you're in for a long wait.

0.2 has lots of new stuff in it, I suspect that the patching problems will
be similar in scope and magnitude to 0.0 and 0.1, meaning lots of 'em.

Look at NetBSD if you need something now.
