A more visible way to get to the All Versions downloads page

I find it quite frustrating that it seems all but impossible for anyone to find the "real" downloads page any more. By this, I mean I want the link to:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
to be WAY more visible. i.e. directly accessible from the downloads page.

I applaud the recent addition of the link to "Eclipse Classic" on the downloads page (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/) however, while it is a step in the right direction, it is not quite "close enough" to what most developers want.

I will attach a mocked-up version of what would be really useful.
i.e. the attachment shows what I would like the "Eclipse Classic" portion of the downloads page to look like... note that the links are the same (with slight changes in their text), plus I have added an "All Versions" link, which points to http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/

This way, all of us "classic" developers can get where we need to go in 2 clicks from the eclipse.org main page:
1) "Download Eclipse" (the big orange button <g>)
2) "All Versions" (to the right of the Eclipse Classic entry)

Thanks.
