It was a suggestion made on this list by an Australian mirror operator and we apparantly liked the idea enough to implement it. Other platforms will have the same naming scheme. To me the immediate consequence was that there was no need for a 5.0-RC2 subdirectory under ISO-IMAGES, because the release name was already in the ISO file name. I'm not sure if the same is done for the other platforms. Basicly because we haven't discussed this. If there's an inconsistency among platforms, we'll resolve it. Being the first I took the liberty to set a possible standard. It is even possible that move ISO-IMAGES up one directory so that it is shared between platforms because we also have the platform in the ISO file name. This is speculation...
