This would enable the version tracking mechanism to work properly.

Sure that is "possible" but descriptions are way to transport a message
to your users to give them a helping hand to decide what program to use.
In this sense I do not consider identical descriptions as the best idea.
Since you did not suggested any change to the description here

I assume you are happy with it, right?
