[fedora-virt] Why is finding windows spice drivers so hard?

Is there some conspiracy to obfuscate the best place to
find windows guest spice drivers? People seem to invent
random names for the files, so you don't know if
it is an update of something with a old name or not.
Sometimes there are .iso files, sometimes .zip. Most of
the web pages offering downloads don't have dates,
so you can't tell which are the latest versions.

Why is this so hard?

Are the spice-space.org versions on the downloads
page always the best versions to grab? And if so,
what the heck do I actually need? I know qxl
is for video, but what the heck do the other
windows binaries actually do? Why do I want them?

I found a file named kvm-guest-drivers-windows-061510.iso
when testing a while back and it seemed to work, but
also seems likely to be pretty old these days.
