Comment 127 for bug 585940

This bug should be reopened. The problem described in the original bug description has been somewhat mitigated, but the more serious problem on which the current bug description focuses remains the same: The download page offers no information whatsoever for the reasons behind this recommendation. That makes a *very* bad impression. I just spent half an hour trawling through outdated forum threads before I found this bug thread -- wasted time that could have been saved by a simple link on the download page providing the reasons behind the somewhat surprising recommendation not to use the newest technology.
