I'm not sure two pages is really solving the problem. It looks like you
don't want to make a choice. But I don't have a pro/con opinion.
My real concern is since you will have two pages, what's the navigation
logic? How do you reach each on of these pages?

Just thinking out loud here but I think the one way to solve long
standing Steve objective is indeed to have per series sections of the
website (including download, documentation, migration guide)
And a top nav for "latest/promoted" releases (like we have today
really).
How do you merge the two navigation wise is what I don't know.
This is for later work anyways.
