A thought about downloads, looking at the Bazaar project page.  When  
I'm viewing this on a Mac, why even show me Windows binaries?  When I  
view the page on Ubuntu, why would I care about anything other than  
the PPA, and maybe a .deb and/or .tgz?

Most download pages I view these days (e.g. Mozilla, or Opera, or  
OpenOffice) do enough browser sniffing to present me with just the  
download binary I care about, with a link for "more options".
