because the oldest set is usually the most buggy.
most people run the parent sets, having a buggy version as the parent is more likely to result in false bug reports.
also with some games it's really difficult to tell where the 'prototype' stage ended and where release stage began, eg. Midway games where the first releases were essentially prototypes, unfinished games etc. using the newest known set typically avoids that problem.
