As for your first point, I think the "Get Fedora" was a direct response
to the excellent success achieved by GetFirefox.com.  It is a good way
to implement the ideas that Alex Maier has championed in Fedora
Marketing.  If you look back to that list's archives for this issue,
you'll find the source for this design element.

I find the justification of both margins in the columns makes for very
odd text spacing at different browser sizes.  I would suggest going to
plain left justification for better readability.
