Installation and Update sources are now handled the same way, so normal Installation will install also the latest security update, or the updater will install new / changed dependencies of packages.
Ok; indeed, it's a good reason. But I think this info not appears in Release Notes file. I know it's a minor change, but possibly others users don't know it (as me, of course :P) Maybe will be good idea to include that info in the Release Notes file.
Because it is not cryptographically signed. This means that you cannot ensure that an attacker has modified it (on the ftp site) to install exploits your machine or similar.
¿Can the packman admins signs their packages? I think packman repositories have prestige enough for that. I don't see any reason to don't make it.
Well zen-updater can be deinstalled just fine, you likely want to deinstall zmd too... (which might have more dependencies.)
