I'll look into that later, but I'll likely now cut a new RC for that.

Why?  It is going to be changed to the date of the relase anyway.

I'll start a separate thread to discuss this to not clutter the vote
thread.  IMHO the site is completely irrelevant for release votes.

The main page - and in fact all of the Compress site - hasn't really
changed in three or four years.  I agree it could use a major overhaul
but that's really nothing I see my strength in - this should be driven
by other people.
