So only leaf file-names change, the directories they're found in retain their release-process tags. The only problem I can see is that someone who downloads the leaf file to a local place and comes back a few weeks later to look at it won't know where in the release process it came out, so might not know which beta to report a bug against, or might need to download the same file a second time just because they can't remember which release-tag they already had. Not deal-breakers, I guess. They might also mistakenly think what they've got is a final release, if only because they're used to all but that having a release tag in them, which might be a more serious issue.
