Default Current Patch/Version Download Link/JSON

I just thought this might be a good idea to throw out there:

Instead of posting a new link for every version of a patch that's released, how about one static link that always redirects to the most current version of the patch ZIP file? Such as: http://www.project1999.com/downloads...ersion=current . Then have a corresponding page with a URL that returns some JSON that lists what the most current patch version is? Something like: www.project1999.com/api/getPatchVersion . Which could return something like this:

Code:
{
    "currentVersion": "39"
    "oldVersions": {
        /* Some list here */
    }
}
If I had something to get this kind of information I could easily create some sort of self-patching launcher to eliminate manually updating the files each time (and reduce possible errors!). Anyway, just something I thought I'd put out there as an idea.
