Speculation:

I would expect that when there is an actual new version, Kobo staff will (as usual) announce it on the MR board.

Not Speculation

All of the 2.0 versions out there are the same. There have been no bug fixes or feature changes in any of them. There are all sorts of reasons for seeing things like the change to 41166 (mostly having to do with keeping things straight as different developers work on the same code), but any actual changes to features or bug fixes get their very own firmware version number so that everyone can get them.

Keeping it at 2.0 ensures that anyone successfully running a version of 2.0 need not go through an update process only to be served with the same thing they had already.
