Because I will constantly update the first post in that thread with the latest firmware information. Because then there won't be 20 threads discussing different things about the same firmware. Because then you can have a one thread where you can scroll through the pages to see the on-going progress and issue information regarding firmwares as they get released. Because once the next firmware comes out we won't have 10 more threads about it and just keep it centralized.
Why do you need to question something instead of simply going along and being supportive. Negativity at this forum is outrageous.
