Yes, it's symlink, and yes, it's for convenience of developers, it
points to the latest image built. But well, in d/l area those symlinks are
pretty confusing, I wish they weren't there after all.

Here's file from the kernel tree which defines corresponding option:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=fs/Kconfig;h=58a0650293e19082ad2b4f951d17a35b78f9224a;hb=HEAD
(search for "summary"). That's as authoritative description as it can
get. Use google to find more info. I personally can't add any
commentary as I never used this options/images with it.
