a) This is a question. Questions are ought to be send to R-help BUT NOT 
TO R-BUGS!
b) THIS QUESTION IS EVEN NOT APPROPRIATE FOR R-HELP, because the answer 
is in the News file.

The news file tells us that re*installing* packages is required for 
R-2.0.0 (rebuilding is not required per se). Yes, ALL packages you are 
going to use!
And for your convenience, there are precompiled versions available on CRAN.
