CFE 3.18.x RHEL8/CentOS8 RPMs don't look right

Background: probably not very relevant, but included anyway.  For a few 
years we have been lagging behind on our cfengine-community deployment. I'm 
trying to address that.  A few months ago we were at 3.10 and are now 
making decent incremental progress gradually getting up to 3.12 and (for 
RHEL8) to 3.15.  (And the big push towards MPF...)

Because of a separate problem, I'm looking ahead a little to 3.18, 
particularly for RHEL8, so am looking to download the RPMs from the website.

At: https://cfengine.com/downloads/cfengine-community-previous/ there is a 
listing for 3.18.0 (yes, I know the ".0" is a tiny bit behind).

64-bit Red Hat / CentOS 6 
<https://cfengine-package-repos.s3.amazonaws.com/community_binaries/Community-3.18.0/agent_rhel6_x86_64/cfengine-community-3.18.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm>   
x86_64   ...
64-bit Red Hat / CentOS 7 
<https://cfengine-package-repos.s3.amazonaws.com/community_binaries/Community-3.18.0/agent_rhel7_x86_64/cfengine-community-3.18.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm>   
x86_64   ...
64-bit Red Hat / CentOS 8 
<https://cfengine-package-repos.s3.amazonaws.com/community_binaries/Community-3.18.0/agent_rhel8_x86_64/cfengine-community-3.18.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm>   
x86_64    ...

Superficially that looks OK.  BUT... when I download them, the CentOS-8 
version is only about half the size of the other two.  (6:4346320 7:4709668 
8:2464940).  Surely this is incorrect, isn't it?

Moving on to 3.18.1 from https://cfengine.com/downloads/cfengine-community/ 
...

There seems compounded by an additional problem.  This advertises:

64-bit Red Hat / CentOS 6 and later 
<https://cfengine-package-repos.s3.amazonaws.com/community_binaries/Community-3.18.1/agent_rhel6_x86_64/cfengine-community-3.18.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm>   
x86_64   ...
64-bit Red Hat / CentOS 7 
<https://cfengine-package-repos.s3.amazonaws.com/community_binaries/Community-3.18.1/agent_rhel7_x86_64/cfengine-community-3.18.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm>   
x86_64 ...

Where is the "8" release?  Surely the "6 and later" cannot be correct 
wording, can it?  At the very least any "and later" wording should be on 
the "7" release, shouldn't it?

Downloading those gives similar sizes for the "6" and "7" releases.  
(Good.)  When I dabble with the URL to try to find an "8", it is found 
(which is a relief) but again the sizes show the same oddity: 6 and 7 are 
about 4.5MB but 8 is down at about 2.5MB.

Summary:

   -  the listings for 3.18.1 seem poorly worded and omit release "8".
   - for both 3.18.0 and 3.18.1 the RPM size for "8" looks incorrect, at 
   about half-size.

Could someone review and check this please?  Thanks.
