I think Tom & Bart make good points about community support and making this library we all know and love easier for beginners and "basic" use cases to get started with.
I'd like to see a download link to a zip file including the library, generated api docs, "Getting Started" & "Building your own OpenLayers", and the following pre-built builds: 1. OpenLayers.js (full build - minified) 2. OpenLayers.mobile.js (current mobile build profile - minified) 3. OpenLayers.light.js (a reasonably simplified build for Vector, WMS, OSM, Bing, & Google map cases - minified) 4 - 6. The uncompressed 'debug' versions of the above files Then in the class docs, clearly state if a class is included in the mobile or light build profile by default and if not, include a note or flag of some kind that this class is only available in the full build or your own custom build profile. Second, I don't see why OpenGeo or some other organization that is heavily invested in OpenLayers could not foot (or find sponsorship to foot) the bill for placing the library on a CDN like Amazon Cloud Front. This would bring it to parity with a number of other well know, well regarded javascript libraries. I agree that the current openlayers.org server is not the right place for high volume hosting of the build library versions.
