I think some of the answers here are based on the two examples. And who went to read the two examples? There are probably a lot more questions of the same type, but of better quality, that never showed up on the radar.
I found that both referenced questions lack substance and quality. So for these questions I would reply with: No, these questions are not allowed.
Question 1 is based on pure laziness. I found that the author could have put more effort into finding the Windows MSI file. I found the files by clicking on Other Files on the Apache Web Site and following the FTP file structure.
Question 2 is not based on laziness, but is a shout for help. Is this a topic for discussion? Probably not.
My 2 cents
