The core function of a website doesn't matter if people looking for it
can't find it. As a case in point, people looking for "Fedora Media
Writer" get
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/04/26/fedora-media-writer-the-fastest-way-to-create-live-usb-boot-media/
as the first hit. That's at least associated with our sponsor and not
entirely foreign, but I'd think we'd want
https://fedoramagazine.org/make-fedora-usb-stick/ or even
https://getfedora.org/workstation/download/ to outscore it.
