One benefit of the proposed structure would be, that we would have everything that belongs to a release in one place: release notes, sources, binaries. Currently the dist location of lang looks like the following:
RELEASE-NOTES.txt (of the 3.4 release) - source -- 2.6 sources -- 3.4 sources - binaries -- 2.6 binaries -- 3.4 binaries No release notes for 2.6 :-( Another thing I've never understood is, why it's called "source" (singular) but "binaries" (plural). I'm +1 to move to the new layout for any releases to come.
