On one hand, I sympathize with the rationale of making it prominent that it=E2=80=99s not just a =E2=80=9Cpage= =E2=80=9D but also software that=E2=80=99s being distributed. On the other hand, less clutter= is better. All in all, I=E2=80=99m happy to apply a patch that would move it to a diff= erent page, or make it smaller and light-grey, something like that.
