Yes it is. It has already been reported and I believe it won't change
on the EDB side :-( (not to say that EDB was known to do that and get
some unfortunate glitchs in the past)
In our side, we can review the dowload area and  add explanations for
third parties packages ?

This is a rgular topic of -www, and the last time I have been bounced
