It's the whole point of this patch to raise this information to the
level of regular website text.

We may discuss about wording details, but I'm sure the general idea of
this patch is the right one.
From discussion in several quite diversified threads on lilypond-user it
became clear that people (i.e. potential new users) have to get a
clearer picture of what LilyPond and its infrastructure essentially are.
This was the whole idea of starting a website review.

I believe that this *will* require some "chattiness" (or put
differently: some more elaborate explanations) here and there.
And I'm sure it was consensus that the path to reading what LilyPond is
and what you need to get it running should be made more explicit on the
Download page. (Together with renaming and an introductory text on the
"Easier Editing" page, which will be one of my next patches).

I don't think making the "Note" more visible will help with the fact
that people reaching the homepage, then click on "Download" get the
right picture from it. I think a regular box with "Before you proceed"
and the second stopper "You just wnat a new version?" will be more
effective than a warning box.
