It's the latest *binary release*, 2.6.7 was a source only release. But 
still, you're correct.

The download pages are primarily looked after by the release managers 
and not the "web team" (if the rag-tag bunch of volunteers can even be 
called a team...).

That would be great. It would need to be co-ordinated with the release 
managers, so that they can update the aliases when they do releases. If 
we had a dynamic site we could make it automatic of course.

All the best,

May you do good and not evil
May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others
May you share freely, never taking more than you give.
