I know, I was only adding one more vote so to speak. :-)

I agree but I think re-ordering current menu entries would qualify as a change 
to the 'feel' of the website as it would only be a change to the layout, 
nothing else. The same links and same content would stay even with the same 
links within the same sections, just the ordering of the sections would 
change. 

At the end of they day though I'm not fussed and was only providing feedback 
after it was asked for. I think we all need to do what we can to help move 
the new layout along as it should really help to generate some good publicity 
for KDE.
