Yes and no. People need to know that in order to have GDAL supported formats available they need to install some extras. We don't list PostGIS among the datastore extensions because it's core, you look into the "new datastore" list and find it. But if we remove the GDAL link people might start to get confused, it's not there in the "new coverage" list, it's not among the downloads.. uuuh... has it been dropped? Is it not working? An acceptable compromise is keep the link in the downloads, but turn it into a link to the docs one needs to read in order to complete the GDAL installation instead.
