Since we already are on this subject:

I've been studying the availability of FreeBSD ISOs on edonkey networks, 
and, surprise, I just noted that the ISO has no "FreeBSD" on its name.

What do you think of changing the names to:

FreeBSD-4.9-RC2-i386-disc1.iso
FreeBSD-4.9-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
FreeBSD-5.2-RELEASE-alpha-disc1.iso
FreeBSD-5.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

and so on?
