NB: if we remove the version from the zip file names, we can link directly to assets in the latest GH release from documentation without the need to keep the links updated

@ebr;
...was my original design, for all the obvious reasons, but see below
We just can't. We only just added the version, because users were literally downloading and trying to install completely random stuff, and we had no way to know what they were starting with. |

Currently a few clicks are needed to get to the source installer, and a couple more clicks to get to the installer bundle. Proposing to update links to point more closely to the source installer, and to link installer bundles directly from Github releases, at least for 2.2.3, in an attempt to smooth over first-time installation experience.
NB - if we remove the version from the filenames, we can have an always-up-to-date link to the latest release assets without having to build the docs.
