People that I talk to are often very interested in GNOME's 6 month release cycle as it's pretty unusual for open source projects. Plus it's interesting to users to know when the next release is coming out, when their bug reports might have a chance of getting added, etc.
So I thought it would be good to highlight, especially for people that aren't really familiar with GNOME. And if I were on www.gnome.org, and wanted to know more about GNOME, what it is, what's in the next release, etc, that's where I'd click. Also more people are likely to look at a graphic than read the whole list of features. (Plenty of people will read the whole list, but they are the people likely to already know more about GNOME.) So I don't think it needs to be the first thing they see. But I think we should put it somewhere in an "about GNOME" or "about how GNOME works" type place.
