They technically do, but let's say I want to have kubectl v1.10 and go v1.0 among others. Some packages do get packaged multiple times for each version. Most don't. Then you end up hunting down build hashes for each version using tools like https://lazamar.co.uk/nix-versions/ which work I guess but the UX is not great. Talking about this with my colleagues, most won't bother until you can declaratively list tools and versions directly

Correct me if I’m wrong: in my understanding, you could also package your own custom derivation from scratch that would do that. I agree that the UX is clunky at best but (in my perhaps incomplete understanding) you can do that today.
