FreeBSD website redesign...

Omg, a whole bunch of things are not clickable. Like those giant snippets taking 1/3 of the front page...including Community:

I like the airy feel, but I also prefer dashboard-like UX design elements, especially for technology websites. One word I am looking for is Portal - I would want a portal.
 
Why is the top of the page wasted on advertising copy explaining how great FreeBSD is? Is this some sort of advertising? Who is the target audience of the ads?

Why is there both a hamburger menu (at the top right) and a bottom set of links that go mostly to the same content?

Why is there only a download link to version 15? Version 14 continues to be supported and downloadable. Matter-of-fact, I happen to think that for many users and applications, older and more stable versions are a better choice. Why would I run 14.4 if 14.3 does everything I need? And 15.x is right out. The old information about currently supported versions and legacy versions is buried behind a link, it used to be at the top.

Why is "About" the first thing (in both the hamburger menu and the links at the bottom)? The important thing is the product, the downloadable installers and code. Not introduction, features, stuff the foundation does, and disclaimers.

It seems to me that the foundation ... the less said here the better.
