I see it as fixed now too.

I'm not sure that bullet really makes sense. The test cases tell you to
download an image with the appropriate link, and the documentation
linked to from the test case pages cover pulling an image as one of the
steps.

That is a bit of a conflict. FWIW, I tend to prefer to not give this
kind of instruction in test cases, because in theory a test case should
be a kind of "recipe" you can run on any appropriate image. So for me a
test case could, say, list "a CoreOS image" or even "a CoreOS image
newer than XXX" (if something in the test actually needs that) as a
prerequisite, but it shouldn't specifically say stuff like "Download
and verify the latest FCOS next image". To me that's a violation of a
test case being a kind of generic recipe for testing. Specific choices
about what image to test belong to an *event* like a Test Day, not the
test case.


I can see it either way. I certainly see the logic in attaching the test subject to the event, not the test itself. No matter what I feel like it should be defined in one place, not both, preferably in the most easily automated location.
