So just to make sure we know for next time -- it's better for our
statistical tracking to direct things to fedoraproject.org/get-fedora or
some other such 'vanilla' fp.o page, correct?  If that's preferable, we
just need to make sure users can find what they need easily from their
landing point there.  Right now, it's pretty good but there are always
chances for improvements.
