I guess bash 3.0 (like most .0 releases) has still some bugs to be 
ironed out, see for example:
   <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2004-August/043003.html>
   <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2004-August/043006.html>

Therefore it seems wise to keep bash2 to run scripts until bash3 is 
mature.
OTOH people might want to use the new bash3 features:
   <http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/bash/NEWS>

So having bash2 and bash3 is justified. Do you think the directories 
should have different names?
