Matthew Miller pointed me at this bug:
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1263565>
The OP had to drop back to a netinstall when he had a bad experience
with the KDE spin. If there are some problems with a spin, certainly
the responsible SIG can work on solving that. But in thinking about
the reporter's comments about finding netinstall: perhaps it would
make sense for the spin site to include an unobtrusive pointer to
Workstation or Server netinstall ISO. This might be analogous to the
Other Downloads section found on the Server and Workstation download
pages. Thoughts?

Ok so this is a request which is not really consistent itself in my opinion.
The user who filed the bug wanted the KDE Spin, and he followed the links from our main getfedora.org website to the spin. That's pretty fine and it's what we want. Why should I want to find a Workstation netinstall image when I'm on a KDE Spin webpage? I think 99% of all users going to the Spins website don't want to find any edition image, because they are specifically looking for a Desktop Spin (or more even a functional spin when on labs.fp.o).
Finally, the Workstation WG itself didn't want to promote the netinstall images at all, and we never had them on the website during the whole F21 release cycle. Then the WG came up and said they wanted to have the netinstall images for F22, but they shouldn't be too prominent. Actually that's what we are showing there, and if you go the Workstation download page you will also find easily the netinstall images for both architectures.
A netinstall image is kinda specific, and most of the users won't download it, because its use is trickier than a simple Live image. Therefore we also decided to not add any descriptions about them, which could lead to misunderstandings for new end users when going to get as much informations about the default image as possible.
My two cents about the topic.
