I think the point being made here is that binary releases, like source
releases, should be version tagged, and once uploaded, should not be
replaced in-situ (because that eg breaks checksumming, and is generally
confusing). IMO the binaries uploaded to ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows
should have some extra version string added to the filename, and it
should be incremented if a new build is uploaded. Eg "emacs-28.1-version1.zip".
Ref https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2022-04/msg01108.html
for replacement of the original Windows files.
