It doesn't look like a problem; in my opinion wiki page makes it
easier to add new package to FEver, the better solution would be
separate it from the main page and put into e.g. FEver/Packages page.

It seems to me that it could be done but it's not what I expect FEver
to be. It may be done as another project ;-)
