That's a really good point - I filed a few similar bugs on this.  The
main problem is: Launchpad has lots of support for people running
multiple series, but the download widget only seems to show the latest
one.  For Bazaar, for instance, we'd like to point people to the
latest stable and the latest beta release, and also do something to
make sure there's always a windows and mac binary visible there,
perhaps by embagoing releases.

One other thing, though it's probably only visible to a minority of
users: "Review project" sounds like an invitation to say "*****
cleaned off all my malware!" but in fact it's just confirming the
project licence (how boring.)
