It never has been clearly documented, nor was it ever particularly
usable due to the large number of places and ways that people get
their upgrades, most of which didn't actually come from us. What is
there now is designed to help people drill down to the distribution
that is right for them (which the old method failed to do completely
unless they ran Windows or built from source), from where they can
find the distribution-specific upgrade path.
For example, If you run Solaris, you Click Downloads -> Solaris ->
Download and then pick the version number and architecture you need.
If you run Debian, you click Downloads -> Linux where you'll see a
section for Debian/APT, with links to the Debian website and Debian
packages database.
Just to re-iterate, some time back I did ask for contributions to
improve the wording for each platform/distro. Iirc, Devrim and Peter
both kindly helped out. Further suggestions are welcome.
