I don't think the question is whether we care about the image - I
think the question is whether we make the image available!
My strong opinions here are restricted to three things:
1) If made available, the netinst image must work. Otherwise,
we're blaming the user for our bugs.
2) What you get going through either path should be identical;
installing from the network shouldn't put you into a
choose-your-own-adventure path of selecting desktops and optional
server components.
This may be more aspirational for F21 than something we can achieve
this cycle.
3) The netinst image should not look like an equal alternative to
the "live" image (which I think is a misnomer) in the web
presentation. Making it seem you need to decide whether you want to
try out Fedora first or just install it is deceptive; generally,
we want people to just go ahead and get the full image.
I don't have strong opinions about whether we make the netinst
image available at all. My vague feeling is that yes, it should be
available, because it's more similar to a kickstarted installation
of the workstation, which is probably useful have working and
tested to give identical results to the live image installation.
The other thing here is that without a netinstall, it becomes very
difficult for a site to do multiple deployments easily. I think we
want people to be able to write a PXE-boot installer for Workstation
and relying on the live ISO might be an impediment to that.
