I'd vote for
Smalltalk/Squeak/squeak_stable.zip "being the latest 3.5 atm"
Smalltalk/Squeak/squeak_testing.zip "the latest alpha, beta, whatever"
That's the least confusing from my own perspective, and from what I hear
about the update stream on the squeak list ("why does my 3.5 image not
get updated any more" -> "because there are no updates to 3.5, only to
3.6 whatever" ...)
Of course I'm talking about someone stumbling on it with an ftp-tool,
but I don't believe that scripts would need a finer granularity, and a
human who really wants a finer granularity will be perfectly fine to dig
in the archive structure.
Of course, YMMV ;-)
Kind regards,
Ingo
