Agreed. There's no need for our package descriptions to be anemic to the
point of uselessness. Let the descriptions state exactly what folks will be
getting (objectively -- this is not a playground for Marketing departments).
 I also agree that it makes sense to note those downloads for which
"Registration is required". As a user, I'd want to know that stuff up
front, too.
