You say "failed" - does that mean it is no longer the case?

Do you think the current page is acceptable and is something we should
stick with?

I can speak quite directly to more choices = confused/scared users from
my experience as a UI designer generally. 

I've ordered parts for a portable usability lab (thanks to Spot), and
they've started coming in. The main priority for the lab to start is to
test Fedora Community, but I think it would also smart to run the
designs for www.fpo / get.fpo through several tests. The upcoming
Toronto FUDcon is going to be a great opportunity to run some tests on
it as well I think.
