My opinion so far: I don't know if I really like the idea of the 
adopt-o-meter as I think it adds a little more confusion to the choices. 
There are really only 2 choices: the stable v.3.3.3 or v.3.4. The 
adopt-o-meter tries to make the choice of version a little more of a 
sophisticated method, albeit, a very sexy way of choosing the version. 
But, I favour a plain method to download the distro: our stable version 
is v.3.3.3 and if you want to get our "bleeding-leading edge version" 
then get v.3.4. I think that Nik's mockup represents a very simple 
downloads page with the choice being very clear and obvious.

Should these other pages not point to our download page which would 
remain static? In these cases,I don't think people would mind being 
re-directed to the "official" download page.
