Citations please? I don't recall ever hearing of people running into
such problems. I still maintain that it should be pretty blindingly
obvious that a graphical installer isn't an RPM or DEB - and that
being the case it seems like clutter on the page that is distracting
from the more important text that's there and will achieve little
except cause fewer people to actually read everything else.
