That is just Byzantine enough to be true. :-) I had a feeling the answer was going to be something along the lines of “Reasons—and backwards compatibility reasons” or so, and that pretty neatly fits into that category, so…. Got it. :-)
Thanks! Downloading source now and trying again. (I knew it had to be something stupidly simple on my end.)

Why maintain two? jdk8/jdk8 is the 'historic' source code 'archive' for the development of JDK 8. JDK 8u is what happened since in the updates. JDK Release Projects like JDK 8 have a special status in Bylaws (see http://openjdk.java.net/bylaws#jdk-release-projects) while 'regular' Projects like JDK 8 Updates do not. So updates end up being separate Projects with separate repos.

I haven’t done this in a while, so I jumped onto Google and took the first URL in a description that seemed correct.
