April Fools' joke on 2022-04-01 installation iso?

Today when I'm installing Arch to one of my old PCs to tinker around some settings before actually change them on my main rig, I heard a short pacman level start music composed of sound notes made from the speaker on the motherboard of this PC while booting the 2022-04-01 installation iso. Is this on every installation iso or this year's April Fools' joke?

For me, when I tried to install Firefox on a newly made Arch Linux install, on April fools day, I couldn't. the "libmfx" package was just. broken? and Firefox, nor chromium, would install. I had to manually compile it, through the AUR (and git) version of said package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libmfx-git)
I thought that was the April fools joke. Thankfully it seems like that was a coincidence.

Where can I find the 2022-04-01 .iso to see this thing for myself?
