Hi Brian,
So the alt downloads in the sidebar I thought you were talking about is
different than spins.fpo and alt.fpo. The ones I thought you were talking about
were, for example, the links to netinstall isos and local media vendors.
Spins.fpo and alt.fpo are very intentionally on different websites. The
getfedora.orgpage is targeted at mainstream first time Fedora users, users we
wouldnt want using a specific spin as part of their first experience bc they
are less polished and not as supported as the editions that are featured
prominently on getfedora.
So I guess my point is that these are not surface level website tweaks. The
suggested tweaks belie a drastic change in strategy I am not comfortable with,
esp without a lot more data and context.
