The SCM allows to retrieve older versions like tags or even specific revisions. In fact, allows to have multiplex versions without the burden of havê to upload every time a new version is released. About using SCM to something that does not need: really it does not need but would make the feature more flexible and easier to maintain (think of the server maintanance and how a shutdown would affect the Lazarus users).
