No specific reasons, just a "looks better to me that way" and "is closer
to what we had until now which worked fine up to now -- changing it more
then needed just confuses people for no good reasons" feeling. Well,
maybe a small detail: you don't have to type the "Everything" part of
the url when doing network installs.

Well, all that is afaics possible with the layout I outlined, too. (and
I didn't want any exploaded spins trees, too -- only the repo with all
the packages in it)

The make subdirectories for each spin below iso and the problem is gone.
