Steam itself has been considered Steam3 for quite some time now, a year or maybe two, but the distinction here is with the user authentication protocol, which has been slowly evolving in use. It was first noticeable when SteamCommunity came out, where you can see the 64 bit representation of your Steam ID, and the advent of community groups, which also have Steam IDs. This is my understanding, anyways.
As was mentioned before, the Linux binaries are most likely just for the dedicated server.
