Well, there is a consensus that the IDE should be available for 
downloads separately from engines, so you are inline with others 
here. However, there were a couple suggestions to have engines 
(separately from IDE) for downloads from SourceForge. This will allow 
us to keep an archive of older engines and avoid potential troubles 
when Rev updates the engine but for whatever reason MC IDE should 
continue to be used with the previous version of the engine. It is 
not likely scenerio but surely plausible, particularly during 
transition periods. One should keep in mind that each version of MC 
IDE is coupled to the engine through version number check, so each 
engine update will require modification to IDE.
