This has nothing to do with the download infrastructure.

Uploading to the prerelease server was done to give testers a chance
to sanity check the releases, to prevent comments like

"How could you even push a version with such an obvious bug as RC"

We had such a problem in the very beginning, so this intermediate step
was introduced.

You could argue that this would only be necessary for betas / the .0
releases, but that's a different topic.

The prerelease one is explicitly meant to test (sanity-check) the
release before going public with it.
If it was meant to be public right from the start, then it would be
added to the mirror-network right away.

ciao
Christian
