hmm... istm i am not getting emails from Marc... *shrug*.
Just to reiterate (since I brought this up when we released the announcement),
we actually now have 2 different naming schemes; no # for the tarballs, and
with a # for beta binaries. now *that* is silly, so let's get it together for
beta3 eh?
Personally I go +1 on having the # in the url, and I would also like to see
old beta directories removed once the new beta is out (someone looking
in /source directory is bound to think /beta1 came after /beta based on
sorting alone, and is there *any* reason we want people downloading beta1 at
this point?)
