That is new on Fedora 22 (workstation have a netinstaller), what is the
main differences ? is just what install by default ? or have more
differences ?

Primarily, yes, plus also people who aren't involved enough to want to
go poking around the FTP server subdirectories — I think there's a
large enough segment between "knows what a netinstall is and has a use
for it" and "up on all things Fedora FTP mirrors" that the link as-is
is valuable.
But, the focus of testing and development for Workstation is on the
live CD, *and* we don't want that download page to offer too many
confusing options (else, we could just link to the FTP server and be
done). So, I agree with the decision that the current approach is good.
Sorry I don't had much time to focus on this subject but I think this is
a good opportunity to talk about this question in ask :
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/24929/how-to-boot-fedora-18-in-...
netinstall iso also have the rescue mode, so state clearly that live cd
don't have rescue mode, how make a usb stick with an rescue mode, where
we can find netinstall to make it, etc .
Another confusing thing is
https://torrents.fedoraproject.org/ not have
the netinstallers.
So, I think, footer of web page of
https://getfedora.org/ lacks of a
link to netinstaller and IMO we should have page just for
netinstallers .
