This one's simple. I think (and feel free to leave your RELATED ideas and opinions on this as well) that there should be an option on the title screen that allows for you to CHOOSE past versions of minecraft to play if you liked an older version better. Say I wanted to play 1.6 instead of 1.8. Well there you go. For me in particular, I want this because 1.8 messed up my mods RIGHT as I got them to work, and the new ones I got as replacements aren't working...
You can already do this except it's not straight out there,you just have to rename the minecraft.jar file so it's not overwritten. That was my mistake, I kept forgeting to rename the minecraft.jars so they didn't disappear. I still have 1.7 though.
Think of a console game, lets take Halo for example (or C.O.D.) if you could play different patches of the game then the glitches would still be there.
Also take into consideration Minecraft servers would need to change ALOT if this feature was put in.
You make a great point, it would run the possibility of glitching or maybe crashing servers, but they may be able to prevent this by having servers where you can only join if you have the respective version enabled. However; I am not refering to glitches in the game code, I mean that this would allow for you to choose whether or not certain things are in the game by what update you choose (ex: No endermen, shears not needed to get wool, ect.), or if you want old or dead mods to work in your game again.
