That's right. It's easier to add the version number to the binary so you can 
install hundred different binaries into one bin directory instead of having 
hundred directories with only one binary in it.

Example:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel        13 15 Jan 10:57 /usr/local/bin/emacs -> 
emacs-24.2.92
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root  wheel   9413448 11 Sep 23:07 /usr/local/bin/emacs-23.4
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root  wheel  14402100 26 Sep 01:23 /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.1
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root  wheel  13858960 21 Jul 17:06 /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.1.50
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root  wheel  14412640  4 Nov 21:39 /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.2
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root  wheel   7385428 23 Okt 11:05 /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.2.50
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root  wheel  10972980 15 Jan 10:57 /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.2.92
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root  wheel  10910040 12 Jan 17:40 /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.3.50
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root  wheel   7329720 11 Nov 22:06 
/usr/local/bin/emacs-24.3.50-IM-32-X11
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root  wheel  11780824 21 Dez 19:46 
/usr/local/bin/emacs-24.3.50-IM-64-X11
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     32928 15 Jan 10:57 /usr/local/bin/emacsclient

(Some suffixes added by me manually after the installation had happened.)
