A usual problem from this date behaviour explained by Volodya is that it's
impossible to get repeatibility on the zip file stream for a particular version.

Linux distributions usually point their build recipes to an URL to download and
a hash for the file contents to be downloaded - and if that hash changes at
every download, it makes the build recipes more difficult.

Thank you,
