Because I haven't bothered to update it yet.

It's just the standard buildout-extension feature that you can use to  
pull in a versions list from the web, e.g. the one I just pasted you  
in my previous email:

[buildout]
...
extends = http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/versions.cfg
versions = versions


See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout#multiple-configuration- 
files. Of course you could also just download the file and add it to  
your buildout.cfg verbatimly.
