Description

The current impl is a linear table with not-super-useful fields/labels.

In the future when things get more complex it might be nice to have this kind of layout (where the lhs is labels and the rhs is links):

Although I believe markdown tables don't support cell merging, and github strips manual table html :(

This isn't a *huge* deal because "better UX for downloads listings" is just "use oranda" at the end of the day.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current release-notes download table and the linked layout image. Compare Markdown and GitHub rendering constraints with the stated option of using oranda; done means an agreed, more useful download-listing design.
