I too think we should stress the attention over the fact that OFBiz and
SequoiaERP are complementary projects: the former is oriented to
development, the latter is end-user oriented.

So removing the links to the OFBiz-3.0.0 release is a good think (also
the concept of an OFBiz release is really no more needed).

Also, maybe I'm playing with words, but I'd stress more attention over
the fact that SequoiaERP is the OFBiz distribution instead of a product
based on OFBiz.
In my opinion, this would help clarify things to users.
