Why have feedback forum at all if the answer is always 'because we always have done it that way.' ?

Changing something just for the sake of changing it is also pointless. Having a feedback forum does not mean every suggestion is going to get implemented. Its been considered, and rejected. Its sad that some cannot handle rejection very well.

Not really sure what this means - how are .rar files more (or less) secure than zip files ?

BTW, rar files have also been considered in the past, but it was decided that zips are the common compression method that everyone can handle - if people used rar they would have to provide a zip as well, which rather defeats the purpose.
