*shrug* Why would it need to? The Gentoo site, as it is now, is a helluva lot more usable and prettier than anything in the redesign ever was, in my opinion. The notable exceptions would be 1) the fact that the redesign was supposed to be in pure CSS (eventually), which I'm all in favor of, as nested table tagsoup is evil; and 2) adding a built-in search for our www.g.o pages. Regarding 2, neysx did add support for opensearch to our XSL after vapier proposed it, so if you use a modern browser such as FF2 or IE7, you can add search engines for www.g.o, forums.g.o etc. to the built-in search bar in your browser. In FF at least, the search icon will turn blue, and Gentoo will now be in the dropdown options. Only two things our website would benefit from are 1) cleaned up CSS+(X)HTML on the backend, and 2) a search page/bar somewhere on the site; not everyone uses an opensearch-capable browser.
