I am not absolutely certain. I have a feeling from past experience
that upgrading to new versions is not necessarily a big deal, but
something that needs to be done with care, as it might not work
with new versions of configure. I know that I accidently used
a newer version of configuring in the past, and got errors, so
it doesn't always work, at least for me.

But other than that, one of my reasons is that we know it works, and
using the exact version also allows you to generate changes that are
directly related to your changes and only your changes - which makes
reviewing the patch for the generated file a little easier.
