Comment 22 for bug 1172422

@Jono (#19) ... I think you might be missing the point. While it's fine to say "The position or prominence of the word 'Community' on ubuntu.com does not have a direct correlation to the importance of the community in the eyes of Canonical or Ubuntu leadership," remember that perception matters. People are not rational. They make snap decisions based on instant visual cues. Community used to be up top, now it isn't. "Huh," says J. Random CommunityMember, "I guess my contributions aren't so important anymore."

This is one of the things you learn in media training. No amount of "Wait, what we really mean is..." or "Certainly our position hasn't changed, it remains..." can fix the damage done by seemingly innocuous visual (mis)placements. This small change is likely going to generate a round of negative press, distracting Canonical into a bit of damage control mode, and leaving folks feeling all-around a little less valued.
