Yes it is. When the new README file gets posted, you'll see the designation
change.
It was done so that we could handle things like src-2.2.0300x2.1.7R or
src-2.2.0300x2.1.0525 the allow crossovers from multiple places.
In the long run, I think that it will be easier than trying to sort out
names such as
2.2.0300J and the like.
