Interesting. Maybe they don't want to be an application hosting site to non-developer types by making releases easy to use.

They need to make it actively harder then because most devs with a site seem to just link direct to the release page. IMO, if that's the thought process then either make it intuitive or commit and lock it down to contributors or something.
