Well, 'You are wrong' is a bit of a strong statement. It's true that
they are available, and it is relatively simple to find them, but it
could be better.

I've had that thought before. I never quite resolved two issues. First,
how do you make it 'simple' to choose the right platform out of all the
ISOs available? Second, how do you spread the demand across the various
mirror servers?

I think at the _least_, the ISO mirror list should be moved onto a page
of its own, so it could have an introductory paragraph, and maybe even
a 'Get NetBSD Now!' link from the main page.
