Comment:

 As Dion explained, the "Commercial Themes" link is displayed in a menubar
 and links to a page. Menubar links don't usually function as toggles. The
 confusion is no doubt due to one or more of a few unfortunately design
 aspects:

 - There is only one link in the menubar
 - Most other WordPress.org sites with a menubar have it integrated into
 the blue header bar when not the front page (the Plugin Directory, for
 example)
 - The gray background likely doesn't provide any cues that it is a menubar
 (elsewhere, in the same header location, the Make sites use a similar gray
 as the background for the welcome box)
 - The link doesn't change to provide any indication that you're on the
 page being linked

 While all four could be changed in the current theme, the first three
 require a few design decisions which will undoubtedly be part of the
 discussion for the redesign of the site and perhaps not worth the effort
 in the current design.

 I can make the link show an underline when you're on the page being linked
 to, which is consistent with the behavior of menubar links for other
 WordPress.org sites. So this will be partially addressed via the imminent
 commit, but any design change related to this is a wontfix since a theme
 redesign will eventually happen.
