At the time, code names were used for the directory containing packages rather than version numbers, with the version number being a symlink to the code name. This meant that assigning a version number meant only a symlink needed to be synced to mirrors, rather than a whole directory and its packages.
Today those directories only contain metadata so syncing them doesn't require syncing their packages, but they're still symlinks, not directories.
