[Suggestion] Add an option to select a branch when downloading the ISO from bluefin/aurora website

I hope this is the right place to put this feature request in. Whenever you try to download the iso from either of the websites, the branch gets picked for you. On bluefin website you get the gts version, on aurora website you get the stable version. I think it would be a good improvement to the overall user experience to add the choice of branch on the websites while downloading with a short explanation like in the administration guide:

The only other way to get the other branch iso’s is using docker pull from github, but since I’m not a developer, I don’t want to set up docker just for that. I’m aware that you can switch the branches with a bunch of commands after installation, but I think adding the option to choose the branch while downloading would be a much better solution.

Here’s the current issue for that:

URL hacking the website works, for any given ISO link from the website:

https://download.projectbluefin.io/bluefin-gts.iso

Replace gts with either stable or latest in the URL.

Oh, I didn’t check that repo’s issues, sorry. Should I keep this thread?
By the way the link hacking solution looks very useful, thank you!

I also faced problems to identify the stable ISO URL and was checking if hacking could work. Tweaking the URL is ok for advanced users but newbies may use GTS ISO and then rebase.
