In a nutshell the proposal is to change from this:

   python-3.10.0a5.exe
   python-3.10.0a5-amd64.exe

to this (thanks to Matthew Barnett for the improved names:

   python-3.10.0a5-win32-setup.exe
   python-3.10.0a5-win64-setup.exe


No poll needed, just agreement from the Window people and in particular 
the person (Steve Dower) who makes the file.  Marking the components 
'installation' and 'Windows', which I just die, will get their/his 
attention.  (As author, you can also mark components.)
