That's a double edged sword for the time being I'll ignore it and move

What is incomplete? Which other states you have in mind Installable for 
instance? In that case let me ask you once more. What is the difference 
between a run time package and a run time only package? How can a design 
time package, use a run time only package and  be installed in the IDE? 
What is the reason of existence of this option?


As for the Boolean part,
What would you answer if I asked you "is that a design time package ?"

and last but I think is the most important part the convention I have 
never questioned the branding of the packages this is just to satisfy my 
curiosity and it doesn't matter to me either way.
