How so?

I don't deny that there is a need for that.

However, on Arch it is the default that you get the latest version of a 
sofwtare, if you install it via the package management, even if you 
don't use the bleeding edge with a VCS package from AUR (the ones ending 
in -svn, -git, etc.).

If you want't to use an old version for Ardour alongside the standard 
package with the latest version, you need to either install it without 
the package management or there needs to be a package for the old 
version, which then would not be called "ardour" anymore and thus not 
conflict with the newest package.

BTW, there already is an "ardour2" package. Feel free to submit an 
ardour3 package to AUR.
