I think you misunderstood my statement. I understand your concern about 
adding one more link, because that can very easily escalate into many 
more "one more links". My objection was the resources to some of the 
unconventional download methods were orphaned, as in _no_ fedora pages 
were pointing to these entirely functional choices. An acceptable 
solution to me would be a tiny link in some corner pointing to a page 
with all the unconventional options.

I saw the patch you submitted and I feel that is a much better solution 
to what the web page looks like at the moment. With that patch I am a 
happy fedora member again. :) Thanks for acting on this promptly.
