"Crowd-Configured" section of website doesn't read well

Forced to re-post this by the unreasonable, unproductive @lebensterben. Originally #15232.

On the main page: image

Suggestions:

  1. Crowd Configured: Community-driven configuration provides curated packages tuned by power users and means bugs are fixed quickly.
  2. Crowd Configured: Community-driven configuration provides curated packages tuned by power users and quick bug fixes.
  3. Crowd Configured: Community-driven configuration, curated packages tuned by power users, quick bug fixes.

Continuing the conversation with @dalanicolai:

Option 3 looks best to me...

I agree, I like this the best, but when considering the other entries on the page, none of them follow a list format. They don't all have to conform, but I'd argue they should.

but 'curated' could stay

I added it back! Nice catch.

The original sentence reads best.

The first needlessly added a "means" and I've pointed out its problem already.

The second one shares the same issue as the first one, that it's illogical.

The third one contains grammar error.

Odd, you make me re-open the issue, then reference what you said in the previous issue. Outstanding job!

What I believe your error is, is claiming that "provides" is unrelated to the phrase after the conjunction "and". The header is "Crowd-Configured", the first word of the sentence is "Community-driven configuration", or just another way of saying "Crowd-Configured".

It goes on to emphasize that "Crowd-Configured" "provides" point 1 and 2. If 2 ("bugs are fixed quickly") has nothing do to with "Crowd-Configured" or what it "provides", then what is it doing there?
