katex pre-release tarball/zip missing katex topdir level

Since v0.10.0-rc, the released katex.tar.gz and katex.zip no longer include the single katex topdir level. Which means that users using the previous layout now have to provide the katex subdir for themselves when extracting. Is this intended? I was not aware of this, therefore did the usual

cd assets
tar xzf path/to/katex.tar.gz

and then had to use careful cleanup operations like

tar tzf path/to/katex.tar.gz | while read f; do rm -f "$f"; done
rmdir contrib fonts

Before re-issuing the corrected commands

mkdir katex
tar xzf path/to/katex.tar.gz -C katex

In my experience, most open-source projects use a single top-level directory. So if this change has been accidental, I’d like to see it reverted. If not, I’d like a prominent note in the changes list on the release page.

Resolved by #1665.

As to the effects:

• Packagers will have to adapt their specfiles / Portfiles / recipes / howver they call them.
• Whoever has unpacked directly into an assets directory will have to clean up carefully and create an empty katex subdirectory before unpacking again.
  • If he happened to have another README.md in there: It’s overwritten now. That’s bad.
• Every user will be reminded of the rule not to make unwarranted assumptions about the contents of archives.
