Hi Jim, making the package versions number a part of the
directory structure seems like a marginal improvement to
me in most cases. For packages which have a stable style
of version numbering, it can even make the structure worse,
as people can no longer see which version came out when?

A remedy for the latter could be to timestamp the extra
layer of directories based on the timestamps of the zip
or zips found inside them :-)

Where packages have simple version numbering schemes, it
can happen that each version-directory will contain only
one file. In that case, I suggest to abstain from adding
the extra directory layer, unless needed for consistency
of having the same structure for all packages?
Regards, Eric
