Sometimes there is bot work that needs to be done urgently before bugs that block working with latest version of pywikibot are resolved. Fix to this would be an archive of round number versions of nightlies of core pywikibot. If I am missing an easy way to downgrade my pywikibot, please advice me how to do that.

@Ladsgroup is managing the nightly builds so they know the best if it's possible to have older versions still available. E.g. have one for the last 7 days, then 3 additional for every 7 days to cover 4 weeks without wasting to much space (if that is a concern).
For now it's possible (in theory) to use git to download any version. And the script to generate the nightly build is available online on github so in theory it's possible to modify it to download any version and create a nightly-like package from that.
AFAIK you just need to use http://tools.wmflabs.org/pywikibot/core_old.zip although it currently returns a 404 so maybe the URL is wrong or it didn't create a old build yet.
@Ladsgroup I don't know if the link will appear as soon as it is available but if not could you please add one in https://tools.wmflabs.org/pywikibot/ ?
So we have now tags (at least ONE tag) so do we want to add these too? So that we have builds for each tag (in theory we only need to build them once). On the other hand all those are probably on pypi too (at least currently).
