I guess I'd favor saying html-bootstrap contains templates relative to the current major version of bootstrap but then I'd keep the older, version specific, ones as part of the repo. Maybe they don't get installed and are just there for reference - or a user could install by hand. The drag is that one needs to keep pace with Bootstrap releases. So, for now html-bootstrap would contain Bootstrap 5 templates and when version 6 comes out you'd create a html-bootstrap5 directory that wouldn't get installed and html-bootstrap would contain Bootstrap 6 files.
