Actually, I don't use direct download links because it scales better.
There are several test pages, and each one in general has several
download links. It's less error-prone for me to get the download links
correct in each of the test pages, and then just say at the beginning of
each announcement "Please see the following pages for download links
(including delta ISOs) and testing instructions" than to try to
duplicate all that. Also, everything in each announcement competes for
people's attention, so the extra content would make it harder to find
everything else in it.

post, not the replies.)
