The motivation is reproducible builds. What we try to achieve is to be able to rebuild ldraw-parts-1902 at a later point in time... With the current setup, if someone produces another build of the same package (bumping the build number but not the version) while 1903 has been released in the mean time, he will get the new version of the parts library. (Although I think it is fine if there is also a complete.zip file pointing to the latest version).
Quick update: it may not be worth it to keep super-old versions around, which are unlikely to be rebuilt, but having a backup for the 3-4 last tarballs may be worth it (starting e.g. with the current version).
