From 1b62d9465a8bd62c92e624b017cc9e89b08ea48f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Cutler Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2016 20:11:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] doc: do not list all major versions in get-packages.rst The list of major versions is difficult to maintain. This commit drops it and replaces it with a link to releases.rst plus some general language about how we recommend that everyone keep their clusters up-to-date.
