[mirror-admin] Downloading Just ISO's

On this topic of iso's, I have a suggestion: consolidate iso's to a
single release/XX/iso/ directory. The benefit to the end user would be
less effort to find the desired ISO and easier mirroring (or exclusion)
of just iso's.
Currently, we have numerous directories where iso's exist:
$ find 12 -name \*.iso -printf "%h\n" | sort | uniq
12/Fedora/i386/iso
12/Fedora/i386/os/images
12/Fedora/source/iso
12/Fedora/x86_64/iso
12/Fedora/x86_64/os/images
12/Live/i686
12/Live/x86_64
Each release could have an "iso" directory at the top, since all the
iso's (except boot.iso) already have architectures and descriptions as
part of their name, README's, and CHECKSUM files.
I'm suggesting 12/Fedora/iso/ could contain the equivalent of:
$ find 12 -name \*.iso -printf "%f\n" | sort
Plus the CHECKSUM and README files, of course.
Just a serving suggestion.
