A few thoughts:

* Download is more clear since what that is what more people end up 
looking for rather than "get fedora". The actual contents on the page it 
leads do can expand on the possibilities besides download to get fedora 
however.

* We have traditionally avoided the word 'support' since people might 
confuse community help with commercial support contracts. This was 
atleast a concern when differentiating Fedora and RHEL. Not sure that is 
much of a problem anymore.

* Even if we run the big banners (which I like btw since we have a lot 
of space), there should be still some space where we would run the small 
banner rotations.

* Why haven't we switched to auto language selection based on the system 
locale?

* The link to beta release notes can probably be dropped now.

* Can you check how this design works with the RSS feed mockups quaid 
has posted at
