Hi David,
Yes, that's exactly the reasoning. The official mirrors of debian-cd
need/want a single tree that they can mirror safely for just the
current release, and that's why we have the separation. The archive
area is simply meant to be a non-mirrored static archive of older
releases that we keep around for posterity. We also *don't* keep all
the full ISO images in that area for each release, relying instead on
jigdo for many of the old images.
