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.

Cheers
Andrea
