Keeping copies of OS installer

Interesting as there's a forum thread about this here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1657531
It definitely appears it has something to do with Spotlight indexing and such. Makes you wonder what happens if you put it somewhere that Spotlight is banned from indexing? Or worse... what if it knows its on your external drive, but you still can't download it until you connect the external and delete it, then dump your trash. I could see that being problematic if you've downloaded it to an external, but don't have external available at the time you try to re-download it.
