I just upgraded my blog to 2.0.2. It works well.

I upgraded two sites to 2.0.2 yesterday. I have already had problems.
The worst is that some categories do not show on the write post page. So it is not possible to post to some categories.
Admittedly I have over 200 categories, which is unusual, so that problem may not affect everyone.
