In src/sys/sys/param.h:

#define __NetBSD_Version__      200000000       /* NetBSD 2.0_STABLE */
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The comment on the right is parsed by src/sys/conf/osrelease.sh, which is
then turned into a C source file when building the kernel.  Note that
"2.0_STABLE" is the code to become 2.1 -- it means "after 2.0.x, before
2.1.x".
