One very good reason is that sometimes the version (and package) number of a package between betas (or rc's) and final may not change but the actual content may. What I mean is this: let's say you have a package 'foo' version 1.0, release 1. The RPM would then be: foo-1.0-1 Let's say that the compiler changes between releases, and the foo oackage gets rebuilt. Now, foo's source and packaging didn't change, so the version and release number don't change either. However, the contents did change. -- Carpe diem - Seize the day.
