That portlet is there based on other feedback I got from Martin, or you, I don't remember who. It's the same macro that's used to put the portlet on the current DSPR page, but I am moving it to the DSP. > See that the owner, version info is always in that location.

However, I think you should retain the package search at the top in a 100% width portlet as searching is a common operation. Burying it in the page makes it harder to find quickly. > Moving this portlet to the same place as other object is not easy since > there is no portlet for the top right.
