I actually think that we could have exactly one entry - and
that it be called 'Supported Applications'. That's the link
people will click on; it addresses their immediate question.
Trying to be more semantically precise with the main menu
link is a mistake, imo.

I disagree here. I don't think we should expound on CVS here, I'm
just thinking a link to the detailed instructions under Development.
What's the first thing a newbie gets told after reporting
a problem: "Have you tried it against the CVS tip?"

I'm good with that. Double yay!
