Actually that logic extends to a problem which seems to hit *BSD in
general - OpenBSD.org is the only site which doesn't have "project"
emblazoned across the top of my browser.

Granted, the management types most likely to be put off by something
trivial like that usually feel their time is too valuable to look at a
website; preferring instead a 15 page document justifying everything and
anything.
