Can SID download be removed when SID is attached?
Not sure where to put this item, but I was wondering...
With new releases, people often add the new SID separately, so it's easier to put it in the next update op HVSC.
Then, when HVSC is updated in CSDb, it is possible to add the 'SID used in this release' field of the entry.
When that is done, the download link to the SID turns useless.
Is it of any use to remove the download link, then?
I mean... it's extra work, it's not harmful to have it in the first place, but perhaps it frees up database space?

SIDs in HVSC seems to be updated every now and then, so there is a point of having the original version attached to the demo.
Not sure how often this happens, but it does happen.

Happens to replace a sid with a different version, only if it fixes an error (badreads, bad init causing bad notes etc) but I personally avoid to replace a sid from a demo with an "extended" or "redone" version, I prefer to add it and keep also the original. If a sid was taken from a uploaded .sid on the csdb entry, be assured that on 99% of cases we have to at least change the field contents to respect some rules (capitalization, year and group on Released, name and alias in Author etc) ;)
I'd say that once the sid is in HVSC there is no need to have it also uploaded, but even deleting the link I think the file is kept anyway to allow restoration in case of "accidental" deletion.
