I'm currently in the process of rewriting the download page to reflect the
three main alternatives (HP, Stack, Minimal). I'll post the final draft here
when it's ready (likely tomorrow), after which I'd appreciate hearing your
feedback before we take it live.

However, I'm not ready to simply delete the HP reference just yet. It's
possible we could reorder the options, though. At the moment we're using
HP/Stack/Minimal. You'll see what I mean when the draft is ready.
