[texhax] TeX Live 2008 available

[Karl Berry]

    have 2008-08-22 as date; therefore, may I assume that if one already
    has that iso.lzma image (texlive2008-20080822.iso.lzma) one is up to
    date and doesn't need to download anything else?

Correct.  The final ISO image for TL'08 is the 2008-08-22 build.
If you already have it, there's nothing more to get.

OTOH, the first dynamic updates should appear within a few days.
