Until you see one, just pretend that anything labeled "4.8-RELEASE" doesn't exist. It's that simple, OK? :-) In an ideal world, the release engineering team could put the releases, well, "somewhere", they'd magically get pushed out instantaneously to all of the mirror sites all around the world, and be guaranteed to be correct. In the real world, it takes a non-zero amount of time to get the data to a reasonable subset of the mirrors. Not all of the data is available at the same time, and even if it were, it takes about a day (at least) for most of the mirrors to get it, depending on what time of the day and what day of the week we make the bits available. There were (are?) two ongoing wrinkles in that the machine that was holding disc1.iso (for the i386) went down for awhile yesterday, plus we generally agreed that sending out a release announcement on 1 April was a Bad Idea (TM). Please be patient. Bruce.
