I don't think this is a good argument.  Space in the package
description is not free: it costs download time (for Packages) files,
disk space, user attention (both when reading a specific description
and when searching) and so on.

Just because there is no better official place to put some information
does not mean that it should be in the Description:.  In this case I
dispute that this information, manually maintained, is valuable at all
let alone in the Description:.

I think Enrico should file bugs.
