I agree, it is a big failure of the current site that real-world 
deployments are not mentioned on the front page or one click away.

Well, that's what the last part is about, but I think you also 
have to tell a story about how the project came to be: that's 
what the first two are about.

The information exists, it's just not easy to find or 
particularly expansive:

You're not going to get people to agree on the idea, or they'd 
have done it already. ;) Somebody needs to submit a PR and force 
a decision, and as you say, it's not much work.  You can do that 
and I'll chip in, or I'll get around to it eventually.
