Yeah I'm quite fine with all of them, maybe we can also add the Multi-DVD
image [1], which is not available elsewhere and we could also add the
respins [2] of the actual edition images, as they are not official images
but people spend a lot of time to make them adding the latest packages and
avoiding so the 500-600MB update you need to do when downloading for
example the F22 workstation image now (there are direct downloads and
torrent files too).
