Because someone saw fit to release it.  It's on download.zope.org/ 
distribution. It''s not in PyPI.

Because, like setuptools, it wants the newest release by default.

You can use the prefer-final buildout option:

   [buildout]
   prefer-final = true
   ...

to have buildout prefer final releases.
