Hi :) It's a good idea. It's already done. Previous versions of a branch are hidden away in the archives.
Of course some people still need them when something is broken in a newer release but only IF that proves to be a blocker for them. The platform is mentioned in the download name, in much the way you describe. When i go to the download page it tries to give me "xx_Linux_deb_xx" when i ask it to give me the Windows version the name changes to "xx_Win_xx". So it's a good idea and one that is already done.
