Same sentiments here. 

Also, one other thing that doesn't look like an improvement to me at all is 
the new layout/appearance of unordered lists. For instance, on the proposed 
page the "New Libraries" subsection for 1.32.0 release is close to being 
unreadable; the layout of text is so confusing that it's almost impossible 
to grasp the names of the new libraries at once without making a special 
effort (you can compare it with the current main page to see what I'm 
talking about). I guess the links color contributes to the effect. I'd like 
to see this fixed. What's wrong with the conventional layout, anyway?
