What's the rationale behind naming the 8.2.0 version directory 8.2?
Given that the files in it are named 8.2.0?

It breaks a whole set of scripts for me :-( FOr example the ones used to
load the docs on the website (which is why I noticed it - most others I
don't use on .0 versions).

I know we've done similar things in the past, but I fail to understand
*why*... ;-)

It's a mistake that was pointed out days ago but still not corrected.  
Someone please rename the thing.

No, don't - otherwise the download links and mirrors are will be out of 
sync for a day or so preventing people downloading easily.

Add a symlink, then rename in a couple of days should be safe though.
