Mh.
What about picking up Alon's (IIRC) suggestion to use subdirs.
The "old" names would reside in the path where they are now.
And new isos are placed in a subdirectory, where the name of the
subdirectory is the targeted version (e.g. 3.4/ would contain Node's for
3.4)
That way we don't collide with the old scheme.
Newer isos could be brought to old Engines by doing some fancy
symlinking.

Maybe this is also solvable by using subdirs as described above.
But maybe I'm not getting you right.
