My point is that most people don't want to have to choose between 4
different links when they are looking for a Windows SPICE client.
The fact that the changelog does not explain at all why we want such an
installer (it only says 'because we can') does not help making an informed
review of the patch.
I'm technically fine with the patch (ie ACK), but would like to have some
rationale about why we want this (will be useful when someone wonders 5 years
from now why such an installer was introduced ;)
