Why do JDKs come in pairs?

A bit of a silly question, but why do JDK downloads always (?) come with two versions?

Wiki has them often released on the same day as well.

This has been answered in superuser:

TL;DR The latter update (u102) fixes some bugs, but u101 is considered the most recent release.
