I am not a packaging expert, but it looks like, for better or worse, the 
stable repo above contains not only the current stable series (v8.4.x), 
but every stable release going back for many years.  All the way back to 
v7.6 in fact.  Note that at this point only v8.4.x+ is officially 
supported - I guess the older versions are there for posterity and/or 
for folks who need binaries for older operating systems we no longer 
build on (like RHEL5, for instance).
