cmdline-tools top-level directory shouldn't be called "tools" [150946939]

If you unzip cmdline-tools (which is a supported thing to do, as it's available for download on

d.android.com/studio), the top-level directory created is "tools", which conflicts with the old "tools" package and is confusing.
Furthermore, sdkmanager relies on being installed in cmdline-tools/xxxx/bin to determine the sdk root. Ideally it would unzip into that place (though having a nested top-level directory in the zip isn't currently supported by sdkmanager).

Marked as fixed.

Fix is checked in, but probably won't be out until the release after the upcoming one.

To which directory will it unzip to with the fix? It would be helpful to know so that workarounds for the current version already use that directory.

starting in 3.0 the top level directory will be "cmdline-tools"

Is 3.0 already released? Where can I find release notes for cmdline-tools? https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/sdk-tools contains only release notes for obsolete SDK Tools, and the download page (https://developer.android.com/studio#cmdline-tools) doesn't mention cmdline-tools version (only some kind of build code)

3.0 is out in the beta channel. You'll see it if you specify --channel=1 on the sdkmanager commandline.
I guess we don't have release notes right now, beyond looking at the fixed bugs :-/

Are the plans or a ticket to move the structure from cmdline-tools/<content> to cmdline-tools/subfolder/<content>? As it is you still need to move the content to a subfolder manually for SDK manager to work.
