This pointless artificial distinction between "Editions" and "Spins" needs
to stop (because there is no technical difference whatsoever between the 2
concepts), as does the unfair advertising ("Editions" as shiny logos above
the scrolling horizon and with one-click links directly to the ISO vs.
"Spins" hidden beyond the scrolling horizon, grayed out, with no names and
no description, and requiring at least 2 clicks to get them). But the people
in power still refuse to do anything about it.
The grayed out logos are particularly outrageous because they are doing to
the upstream logos exactly the kind of things explicitly forbidden in the
Fedora logo guidelines (changing the colors and even reducing them to 2).
(It so happens that the new Fedora logo will likely allow this kind of
usage, but have you ever asked the upstreams whether THEY are OK with those
unilateral changes to their logos?) I really don't see why, whereas all
other icons on get.fp.o are colored, the ones for the Spins (and ONLY those)
have to be grayed out. Yet https://pagure.io/design/issue/411 was closed as
"fixed" without any actual fix having been deployed, ever.
I also find it funny that the argument for the one-click direct ISO download
for GNOME "Workstation" (or formerly "Desktop") has always been that choices
confuse users. But now there is a "Workstation"/"Server"/"Atomic" choice.
While "Workstation" vs. "Server" is something that makes sense to most
users, "Atomic" is definitely not (and the description full of technical
jargon such as "Docker" and "Kubernetes" won't help either). Yet, Fedora
still refuses to show the full list of choices there and shows only those 3
arbitrarily picked ones.
