The update from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 happened on October 12th and has been in
Rawhide for over two weeks; I'm not sure why it appeared in this rawhide
report (I'd have to look at the code that generates them).  It was a
bugfix release.  It didn't introduce new features, and upstream claims
the update fixes 34 bugs (including at least one that was filed in the
blockers for FC3 in our bugzilla, off the top of my head).

The recent changes (2.0.2-2 and 2.0.2-3) were, as Jeremy says, small and
targeted.
