Hey Sean, One other thing I'd be okay doing is moving the main text about nightly builds to the wiki and just have header called "Nightly builds" at the end of the downloads page that says "For developers, Spark maintains nightly builds. More information is available on the [Spark developer Wiki](link)". I think this would preserve discoverability while also placing the information on the wiki, which seems to be the main ask of the policy.
