Agreed with the sentiments above.  Getting people into the windowsesk
click monkey routine of visiting a software vendor's site (and
potentially misspelling the url) to manually download and install
packages creates opportunities to infect users machines with rootkits
and all other kinds of nasties.  And generally promoting
old/stale/insecure software.

If the Skype devs would prefer users getting the software directly from
them, the very least they could do is create their own properly
maintained software repository.  But I'm generally against that idea for
the first reason I gave in the previous sentence.
