Because then each person who has "4.4.6" installed actually has slightly
different code to everyone else. If I want to reproduce your bug, I
can't just ask you what version you have, I have to ask for the SHA-1 ID.

I'm not sure I know of any project which has defined "version X.Y.Z" as
referring to any one of 10 possible versions of the code which existed
around that time", and I can sort of see why no-one has tried this. :-)
