Upvote ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The product management team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notification on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Looking at wide spread best practice for delivering software downloads with proof of integrity, this feature is simply mandatory, and even if the current status quo might be explainable, it is certainly not rationally sustainable.
In fact this feature ist needed for the integrity and authenticiy check of any software download (not only DB2) before installation, to achieve compliance for example within the SWIFT Customer Security Control framework or the compendium of the German Federal Office for Information Security. I believe any german customer and especially banks using IBM software need this feature.
