That is +3 for removal (and a possible -0) by my count, so far.  Anyone
else?

I don't think the current content is good; I do think that this location
should be used to display Important Things Every User Should Know (or
Do).  It needn't be 123.

It would be easy to process logs to get that feedback - e.g. if the
version is passed in the URL the user just sees a static 'Welcome' page
- but maybe just the download stats are enough.

I was running out of ideas.  :s

Yep, that's a really good candidate for the top of the page.

I'll double check links and text for consistency before submitting the
final-ish version.

That's an interesting point - the existing version links to the local
version.  The network version may/will be more current, so it's probably
better to link to apache.org.  Objections?
