The issue he was asking about is that there are two images shown each for
amd64 and armhf.  There is no difference between the two except for the
filename; one is 'armhf+bbb', the other is 'armhf-bbb', and one is a symlink
to the other on the server.  The reason we have both names is that we had
pushed one of these names as the URL to publish on the website, then
realized that the name we'd pushed was inconsistent with the overall naming
scheme on releases.ubuntu.com.

We at some point can drop the compatibility symlink, but only once the links
are updated on the ubuntu.com website.
