This is confusing, inconsistent and unstable. Confusing because 2.6-pre
referred so far to the releases immediately preceding 2.6.0.
Inconsistent because it requires the downloader to have preliminary
knowledge about what the break point is. Unstable because, while you
consider pre20 to qualify as "old" today, in 5 years you will want
pre30 to qualify as "old" instead, meaning that tools such as ketchup
would have to be updated once again.
I think we want to come up with a directory structure which won't change
in the future.
