The websites team has given up on making everybody happy a long time ago. Just like with the old download page at http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora-all, new users would be confused about exactly what they need to choose. Just ask anybody that has been helping out in #fedora before we changed the main download page. We choose one group to target more than the others, and that group is new users that don't know what to choose. We direct those new users at the default and most common download instead of throwing choices at them. People that do know exactly what they want have one extra click to go to http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora-all where they have all of the choices listed. If other DEs were to be moved off of spins.fp.o in the future, this is where they'd go as well. Thanks, Ricky
