Just to make sure I understand what you wrote here... Do you mean
that, a user is sifting throught those choices on the "more choices"
page in get.fp.o, and therefore it's natural that a choice for the
boot.fp.o images be there too?  I'm not questioning that, just want to
make sure I understand what you wrote.

After you boot the boot.fp.o ISO image, you can choose architecture
and release from the menu under the "Install" option.
