Yup. Those pages are about as well organized as every other page one
finds on the internet, so they wind up forming the exact same opinion
as they do of most sites. If someone takes the time to do a good site
design, it doesn't matter who hosts it. If they don't, putting it on a
custom domain won't magically make it better. For instance, try and
figure out how to install the Cyanogenmod software based on
www.cyanogenmod.com.
