Don't change for how long? As I said, old versions never were available "forever" on kernel.org -- usually they only stayed a few months, though lately the lifetime stretched out a little. I don't really want to, for example, copy the tarball to two places each time. That takes me extra time, and is prone to errors (e.g., I might forget).
