Looks good enough to me.

That one, however, is unclear to me.

Why do we need two versions of the file name? Well, three, counting the  
8+3 version, but I know what that one is for :-)

Why not simply leave the name as-is? It seems to me that would reduce  
possible confusion and even make those scripts simpler.
