Why try to scrub buggy releases from the history?

They are not infectious diseases that need to be avoided like the plague.

The release happened so the artifacts associated with it should remain, 
because of a significant bug a new release was published sooner than 
expected to reduce the time the latest release is affected.

Kind Regards,
