That's a project policy on their side. The version of all components is kept around this way to give users the easier possibility to link or use back a previous version if a component update does wrong. There are advantages to such models as well for projects which care a lot about some precise compatibility that some upstream maintainer overlooked, while not having to patch an existing instance to filter out only a set of components. -- Michael
