Reasonable, done.

Have given it another shot; please take a look.

Thought about it, but would get very long and dominate the page. Would
be open to other suggestions- agreed that the current list of links is
suboptimal.

AFAICT those are completely uninteresting; I'd rather remove them
altogether than put them above the downloads. The press already got
the press release, and the community already got the community
announcement. People coming to this page want to see the important
highlights (the release notes) and know how to get what was announced,
not know what fake quote we chose for Owen this release, or what funny
quip Elijah chose for the release announce.

I was attempting there to make it non-marketese; am open to other
explanations of what the community announce is.
