Disagree. It's worth having an announcement in our own voice (even though we
used the same voice as last release). We should definitely put a link to the
press release in the community announcement. Keep in mind that the press
release follows a very different course to the community announcement (going
to journalists, on the wire, etc).

If the link in the press release was not /start/2.14/ then the wrong link
was used. We should certainly make /start/ significantly better, but see the
html comment at the very top of that page for what it should be. That is far
more useful than a redirect to the stable version page (though /start/ would
definitely link to it, more prominently than it does now).
