It is our responsibility to some extent (unfortunately), and is
precisely what's driven this and previous designs of these pages. We
get too many confused users emailing us if it's not crystal clear how
they should install and setup binary packages (that's why the
installers were at the top of the page; they made it extremely simple
to get up and running for those that didn't bother to read past the
first couple of lines of text).
