That would be a bit confusing, and if any beginners loaded the unofficial
parts (you just know it's going to happen!) they may not realise that you
have to edit the parts.lst file to remove the extra entry later. I can see
why Steve wants to keep it to one of each file - when the official update
comes out the unofficial parts will get overwritten, and there won't be any
extra parts kicking around that will have to be manually removed. Maybe the
duplicates should be offered on the site to download for those people who
want to compare the parts and offer suggestions in the parts review process.
