Description James Blackburn

Using 0.11.1, the description of the source features have:
Jgit:
Do not install in your IDE: this feature is meant to provision Target Platforms.
Source code for the support for PDE's JUnit runner for a Target Platform
################ end of description property ##################################

Egit:
Do not install in your IDE: this feature is meant to provision Target Platforms.
Source code for the support for PDE's JUnit runner for a Target Platform
Standalone: includes all the necessary bundles.

We like to install the source features so if we need to debug an eclipse session source is available for setting breakpoints etc.  Is such a health warning necessary?

This is standard fare, just look at the Eclipse platform source features. About 99% of people don't want the source... and if they do... they can use it via the target platform provisioning mechanism.

Is there any way to tell Eclipse to "ignore" these updates? Every day when Eclipse checks for updates I get notified that there are new updates available, only to discover it's the two egit source updates who's description tells me "Do not install in your IDE".... so if I'm not supposed to install them then they shouldn't be appearing as software updates!
