releases.u.c carries all average images, it gets regulary mirrored all
over the world. to limit the load and disk usage on the often voluntary
driven mirrors there is the cdimage server. cdimage.u.c does not get
mirrored and carries the rather uncommon images (special architectures,
exotic image types etc) that dont see as many downloads.

during development a release is only called by its release name
("oneiric" in the current cycle) from release date on the name changes
to the actual version (you will notice that all the official docs on
ubuntu.com only use release numbers (with the release name in brackets
sometimes)). this renaming is the reason for having the symlinks ...
