I do agree completely.
As i said, we need to rethink this from the bottom up, take our time.

However, somebody said (on the list or on irc, i don't remember) that it
would be nice to have something ready for the 1.0 release. Something
better, not necessarily completely finished. That was why I made the
mockup. But your recent work does also accomplish this task I guess. :)

That would be nice to have a blueprint. would you be available to work
on this together?

The security part should be somewhere on the homepage, i think i might
have taken it out in version 3 by accident.
There should be all the links to the warning page, and also the mention
that updating Tails regularly is necessary, with a link to further
reading on the security page.
