Yes, but when someone uses jigdo-mirror, the names would be just e.g.
/pub/debian-cd/i386/woody-1.iso, without a 3.0r0 dir. The same thing
happens if they mirror the jigdo files by mirroring
cdimage/jigdo-area/current/jigdo/.

I prefer the longer name because it makes it easy for people to
remember where that .iso file on their harddisc came from. Just
"binary-1.iso" isn't very helpful. Additionally, people who download
images for >1 arches will appreciate the change.
I guess you can't please everybody. :)

That's possible, but doesn't solve the problem that mirroring
cdimage/jigdo-area/current/jigdo/ doesn't create a "3.0r0" directory
on the mirror. That way, there's no way for somebody to tell which
version of Debian the jigdo files are for.
