Yeah. It is confusing if you _think_ about it, but if you just use it,
it's fine (after all, we've been using it this way for years. I mean
even Joshua used to use it and not notice it was backwards).

Probably the only thing you could actually do about it is change the
text in the link so it said "previous release" (resp. "next release")
instead of "next" (resp. "previous"), but I have zero idea what it would
take. It's probably a lot more work than it's worth, if it's possible
at all.
