My comment and your resolution on lines 348 - 351:

You ask - "Why is this more complex?"
The ability to register, store, and download software components
requires that the repositories store binary objects.   Storage and
retrieval of binary objects adds complexities beyond those of text only
components.   From a business perspective, registering executable code
for download by an ISV to me implies that it might be downloaded upon
purchase.   The support of a requirement to purchase a component before
being able to download it adds functional complexity to the R&R.
