That's do-able, but we'll be maintaining, for at least a while, active
1.2 and 1.4 release streams.  I hope 1.2 is coming to an end soon, but
can't be certain.  We could do something like:

Evergreen-ILS-1.2-LATEST.tar.gz -> Evergreen-ILS-1.2.3.1.tar.gz
Evergreen-ILS-1.4-LATEST.tar.gz -> Evergreen-ILS-1.4.0.0.tar.gz
Evergreen-ILS-LATEST.tar.gz -> Evergreen-ILS-1.4-LATEST.tar.gz

Eh?  Anyone?
