Yeah I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I sympathize with the rationale of making it prominent that it’s not just a “page” but also software that’s being distributed. On the other hand, less clutter is better. All in all, I’m happy to apply a patch that would move it to a different page, or make it smaller and light-grey, something like that. Ludo’.
