Distributions: For example, suppose an aggregate distribution of software
provides an `installpkg` command for installing packages. Then the action
-`installpkg ion3` (resp. `installpkg ion`) should after 28 days provide the
-latest release of Ion3 (resp. the latest stable release), or prominently
-notify the user that the provided version is (likely to be) obsolete and
-unsupported. Specific versions (including modified versions) may be provided
-if the user explicitly requests for those, within the constraints set above.
-The latest release being provided by default, or prominently appearing in
-a listing, constitutes prominent marking of earlier releases as obsolete.
