Just out of interest, a diff -c between the most recent releases and branches
(after stripping $Id$ changes etc) is about this:

2.0.5R -> 2.1.0R = about 10MB
2.1.0R -> 2.1-stable = about 6MB
2.1-stable -> 2.2-current = about 17MB.

The difference from -stable to -current is heading towards being twice the
size of the 2.0.5R -> 2.1.0R changes.  It should comfortably hit 20MB once
good chunks of 4.4Lite2 goes in..

(in case anybody is wondering how to strip $Id$ changes with CVS, use the -kk
flag, eg: "cvs -q diff -kk -rRELENG_2_1_0")
