It used to be more 'direct', because the nightlies were sorta hand-built
with lots of scripts and stuff, but now they get built by Koji, which is
faster and more reliable and more similar to how actual release live
images get spun, but makes the download path a bit more indirect. Just
click on Task info and then click on the .iso you see on the resulting
page, under 'Output'.
