My conclusion is if you want a non-persistent USB this is a fine solution. Plus you can download the  f12-netinstall.iso from it and put it on  a usb (at least it  is listed on the dropdown) I did not try that.....

There are 112 open bugs [1] which doesn't look too good, though several of them are of the "Please support distro X" kind. It's more the amount of "Undecided" bugs that makes it look bad...
