My comments are born from utter frustration. We worked really hard to 
get this out (all of us) and to not have it officially linked on the Get 
Fedora page is an insult. The Spins wrangler was supposed to take care 
of all of this but has not, however we can petition the websites team, 
releng (again) to do this mid-release. I'm just not confident

As far as I'm aware, release engineering makes the official releases 
available to all the mirrors, torrents etc; this is not the case with 
the nightlies, and definitely not with any personal fedoraproject 
accounts (thus my hesitation).
