Ok, great. Do you have checkin permissions on the sourceforge.net
repository? No, it appears not. Then it's probably easiest if you
forward modified/new files to me and I'll check them in. Or (better)
ask one of the admins to give you checkin permissions. That is: if you 
have a unix machine available, checkin permission is difficult from a
Mac at the moment.

2.0 is expected to have a short beta cycle, so it shouldn't take too
long. As to 2.0b1 stability compared to 1.6a2: my guess is that it's
more stable, but as it's only been out for 12 hours I can't really
promise this. I _do_ promise that I won't be doing wild things between 
2.0b1 and 2.0final, just work on missing stuff (distutils comes to
mind). Carbon MacPython will have to wait until after 2.0.
