Yes, the same mistake was made then (but was not made for Emacs-20.1).
It's no excuse to repeat it.
If it was deliberate, then it was not a mistake. And history shows
that Emacs has always had version numbers, not version strings.

Does not change that people looking for a tarball to download will
take a look at the bottom for the most recent one

That is solved by having an emacs-pretest-latest.tar.gz symbolic link in the download directory and advising users to use that.

After 18.9 came 18.10, likewise with 19.9 and 19.10. There is no good reason to change the rules only for pretests.
