      The installation instructions need to be updated to reflect that unpacking the .zip/.tar machines will result in one additional level of directory nesting (for `tar`, this is easy to circumvent by adding `--strip-components=1` to get the same unpacked result as before)

      Following the convention of other products, the .tar and .zip packages should include a parent directory with the name, architecture and version of the software. In other words, the structure of today:

      THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES
LICENSE-mongocryptd
bin
bin/mongosh
bin/mongocryptd-mongosh
LICENSE-mongosh
README

      should become:

      mongosh-darwin-x64-0.15.0/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES
mongosh-darwin-x64-0.15.0/LICENSE-mongocryptd
mongosh-darwin-x64-0.15.0/bin
mongosh-darwin-x64-0.15.0/bin/mongosh
mongosh-darwin-x64-0.15.0/bin/mongocryptd-mongosh
mongosh-darwin-x64-0.15.0/LICENSE-mongosh
mongosh-darwin-x64-0.15.0/README

      The relative order of architecture and version in the directory name seems rather insignificant to me, although our other products seem to suggest to have the architecture first and then the version number.
