Why is 6.2-RELEASE/packages/Latest/ not latest enough?

That is not that I mean!

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/packages/editors/openoffice.org-2.0.4.tbz
exists. But the Link:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/packages/Latest/openoffice.org.tbz
is linked with

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/packages/All/openoffice.org-1.1.5_2.tbz

It is a simple change with ln. Not more! openoffice.org 2.0 was already
created during the RELEASE-6.2-process.

Still again: Why is this link showing to an older package, when to the
same time a newer package exist for the RELEASE_6_2 (not RELENG_6)?
