+1 on the need for this. The more that OpenAI roles out updates that break things (e.g. the https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/22423 issue for the June 12 update), the more there's a need to temporarily install the old version until the problem is fixed. Otherwise, users are dead in the water.
for the time being, if it helps anyone i created an automated release snapshot repository:
