Yes, it's not ideal. We had some discussions about this in the past, but I think the preference is to deploy an improved listing instead of no listing at all. I don't remember what the current status of the alternative search is,someone else can fill this in. Personally I'm in favor of erasing the /packages page (until we have an improved alternative), no one likes pages which kill your browser process - which happens with some current browsers when you visit our packages page. Better have no listing than to have a listing which leaves a bad impressions by loading long and eventually make your browser crash.
