Yeah, I'm not convinced we need two sites, either.

We can make as many pages as we'd like.  We already include many other
pages for the manual and such.

IMO, managing the site via gnu.org's antiquated CVS deployment setup
is undesirable for the long term.  As assistant chief webmaster I've
tried to influence a migration to git and more modern web development
practices, but it's not going to happen.  I propose that we do as
Mediagoblin does: Maintain a completely separate web server that we
have full control over, and redirect http://gnu.org/s/guix to that web
server.

Thoughts?
