is there some rationale for the various yocto "download" URLs?

[Robert P. J. Day]

currently the download URLs are a bit confusing.  first, there's

    http://www.yoctoproject.org/download

which takes you to the "download" page.  then there's the ever so
similar URL:

    http://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads

which redirects you to:

    http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/

finally, there's the subdomain:

    http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/

is there an official distinction between these URLs?

This is the project download page. It is meant to provide information 
about downloads but not a complete listing.

This URL is the old URL for releases. It shouldn't be used in new work. 
The redirect will move visitors to the current releases listing.

The downloads.yoctoproject.org is where we would like all Yocto hosted 
downloads to live.
