Migrate the content of the releases wiki page

I'm trying to be a little cute here with the inclusion of attributes
from quick-docs. Hard to check it locally, so we'll see if it works.

= Fedora Linux Releases
include::quick-docs::partial$attributes.adoc[]
Content will go here!
== Our release schedule
Fedora creates two major OS releases every year, targeted for the fourth Tuesday in April and October.
We don't follow a strict "ship on this date!" policy, nor do we wait until every single possible thing is perfect.
Fedora integrates thousands of always-changing upstream packages, and if we stuck to a date no matter what, we'd always ship with serious bugs, and if we attempted to squash every problem before releasing, we'd never ship at all.
To understand more about the reasoning behind Fedora's process and release life cycle, see the xref:lifecycle.adoc[Release Life Cycle] documentation.
== Current supported releases
Fedora provies approximately 13 months of support for each release.
The N-2 release reaches xref:eol.adoc[End of Life] four weeks after Fedora Linux N is released.
See the sidebar for information about the current releases.
== Development
Fedora's approach involves two development releases, xref:rawhide.adoc[Rawhide] and xref:branched.adoc[Branched].
For more details, see the respective pages.
=== Rawhide
Continuous rolling development branch.
No releases are ever made directly from Rawhide, and it never freezes.
There is no guarantee of stability.
Rawhide is intended for initial testing of the very latest code under active development.
* On mirrors: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide[development/rawhide]
* Repository: xref:quick-docs::repositories.adoc#rawhide[rawhide (unstable)]
=== Branched
Development branch for pre-release stabilization.
All Fedora Linux releases are branched from Rawhide at the branch point before going through the Beta and GA (Final) milestones.
For a time between GA and the next branch point, there is no Branched release.
Branched provides continuous daily updates, but with controls to promote stabilization.
On mirrors: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/{NEXTVER}[development/{NEXTVER}] (or https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/mirrors/Fedora/development[mirror list])
Repositories: xref:quick-docs::repositories.adoc#the-fedora-repository[fedora] (stable), xref:quick-docs::repositories.adoc#the-updates-testing-repository[updates-testing] (test updates)
== Unsupported releases
See the sidebar or xref:eol.adoc[EOL page].
