Probably, and if not, it's not as bad as missing about.html files or unsigned 
jars, isn't it?

So it's a "Use the new publisher" thing… Is it obligatory for all eclipse 
projects? Or is it just a good practice.

Adopters can still decide if an optional dependency should be installed or not, 
by filtering it from the build target platform and Eclipse user can 
filter/deactivate the corresponding repository and so use a subset of project 
p2 repositories.
However, I don't want to convince you, that optional greedy make sense or not 
(by the way it was a default for years), I'd like that people accept, that this 
is a valid combination and don't nag on projects, who use it. :p
