Thanks for noting this - I added a line about getting them via nightly
compose to that section, similar to the blurb we've had in the past. We
haven't really gone into deep explanation on Spins before in the Alpha/Beta
release announcements - while I'm not going to change it at this point, I
wonder if it's really something we want to make noise about before we get
to final release announcement territory, beyond "alternate spins are
available via nightly" (see older announcements such as
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F16_Alpha_release_announcement) ... thoughts?
