OK
KDE 2 is final on download and ALL PowerPacks. KDE 2.0 is a pre on
"Complete" editions that were distributed to MacMillan for some large stores
who needed to send something to their members to put on the shelves before
Christmas (and it hit the shelves the same day as the announce of the 7.2
release for a week later). Later 7.2's Complete and ALL DL and Powerpack
7.2's are KDE 2.0 final. Current Complete, PowerPack, and Download are
singing from the same sheet of music.

is also in the nature of an official announcement, and the link there
describes the limits of scope for the KDE - 1.99 release. Inevitably, more
than KDE 2.0 happened before the final released, but all current distro
packages are now in sync, with the exception of the fact that some include
more packages than others.
