Having spent quite some time with folks who worked on the website
redesign, I recall that the netinstalls are set up to be visible, but
not in a way that confuses users to think they *should* opt for them.
It's hard to tell whether a prominent explanation would undo that
design.  I think Mo hangs out on this list so hopefully she can help
us focus on solving the right problem here.

Also, since no netinstall link exists on spin sites, this probably
makes them harder to find.  I sent a note to Websites to get some
design input on that particular issue, since the designers usually
hang out there:
