WordPress v2.8 download file is garbage

DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL WP2.8! The installation package does not work! WOW what a bunch of mindless idiots! With much fanfare they announced the release of the great new WordPress 2.8 and put a link to the installation .zip file. I downloaded it and SURPRISE! There is only one folder (wp-includes) and 8 PHP files inside. These are:
1 index.php
2 wp-atom.php
3 wp-rdf.php
4 xmlrpc.php
5 wp-comments-post.php
6 wp-register.php
7 wp-commentsrss2.php
8 wp-rss.php
So I think…WHAT’S THIS? There is no config-sample.php file at all. So I figured something must have changed and I checked the installation instructions on the website. The instructions are exactly the same as for v2.7.1 which I’ve installed hundreds of times. Has anybody figured out what these morons have done? Where is the real download file for WordPress v2.8? Did they post the wrong file? Should I scrap using WordPress 2.8 until these dorks get it right? You would think somebody might check they have the right file before they post it on the website. If I’m frustrated I cannot imagine what somebody new to WordPress will think. Can anybody help?
