I've been using the sneak preview and haven't been able to find anything
wrong - even though I've defied all warnings and used it with production
data.
This baby seems pretty stable to me :-)

This is build3 going public for wider testing. You don't need to re-test
the same things, but we want more people testing it and for more
usecases - if no major issues are found, we'll convert exactly those
builds into the final 2.0 release after all.

sorry, if it has been discussed already or if it doesn't fit here - but
from my point of view SM 2.0 has some "minor glitches". Whne I select
custom installation I'm not able NOT to install the e-mail client (I
already use Thunderbird and don't want to change that - I like programs
separated).
The problem is: even when I have set TB as my default e-mail client,
when I click on a "mailto" link, SeaMonkey tries to do the job instead
of TB (I'm using SM 2 RC2).
I would appreciate if SeaMonkey would be installable completely without
the e-mail client. Give user the choice, please don't descend to "MS
bundling" level ;-).
Thanks.

Eh - if you want SeaMonkey without Mail/News then why not try Firefox?

Because Firefox is not SeaMonkey ;-). Just because they have the same
rendering engine does not mean they can substitute each other. It's
about user experience. The same way I would ask "why using one web
browser when I can use another" ;-) I like SM, I like its preference
settings, I like its features (some of them), I like the way it behaves
and there "is" (sort of) one extension that I like very much and that is
designed specifically for SM: MultiZilla (it doesn't work with FF - but
it doesn't work with SM2 either and the development of it looks stopped,
which is why I'm considering leaving SM at all, but I want to give it
(both SM and MZ) a chance - force of habit ;-).

Is anyone else trying to build SeaMonkey 2.0 RC2 on Solaris 10?
I've made significant progress with RC1, but I'm getting hung up
with Cairo-related errors. I'm trying RC2 now.
I'm using the following locally built packages for this:
pkg-config-0.23
libcroco-0.6.2
gettext-0.17
libiconv-1.13.1
glib-2.12.13
atk-1.9.1
cairo-1.2.6
pango-1.14.10
gtk+-2.10.14

Thank you very much, now I see I'm not the only one :).

That cairo is way too old, does configure not already tell you that?
If you want to use system-cairo I think you should install cairo 1.8.2
(or at least 1.6.x).

The new installer, which was borrowed from Firefox and Thunderbird, only
supports components packaged as extensions. mailnews is not an
extension, and it would be very hard to make it one.
Other things were given priority over fixing the installer for 2.0. This
will hopefully be fixed for 2.1.

Thanks, but what I really want to see is what's changed/fixed between
each SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta release and RC release, not just the general
notes for what's new in SM2.0...

See the second link in my footer. I'll post the changes between Beta 2
and 2.0 final there before the latter is released (i.e. probably at the
end of the week).
