Is there a reason the order of the name components couldn't be more
similar to the download directory structure? For example, old pungi
images were named like Fedora-20-i386-DVD.iso, corresponding to
$VERSION/$ARCH (and $IMAGETYPE comes last since both of these, DVD and
netinst, are in the same dir). So, in
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/21-Alpha-TC5/Workstation/i386/iso/
, instead of Fedora-Workstation-netinst-i386-21-Alpha-TC5.iso, what
about Fedora-21-Alpha-TC5-Workstation-i386-netinst.iso? This is
basically the same as the old naming in the case of install images
(except for the new $PRODUCT field).
