The question really is whether there is any chance that they will get released, in some form. There won't be further binary releases (at least not from python.org), so there definitely won't be a CHM release.
Speaking about the CHM, why does it include the version number in it's filename?
Wrt. software, any "why" question is tricky. It's in the file name because the generator that generates it puts it there. Now, why does it put it there? Because it does so for any other distribution format of the documentation. It used to be python26.chm (i.e. without the micro version), and was deliberately changed - primarily for consistency, AFAIK. Now, why do the other formats have a version number in them? So that you can have them all in the same directory, and they won't overwrite each other. And so that if you downloaded one of them, you'd still know what it is that you downloaded afterwards.
