I think we should update the content about Ubuntu 17.04, OpenSUSE 42.2, Fedora 25 during the preview.3 release. Now we still have old packages (17.04 and etc.) in the existing release pages, but in preivew.3, we will release 17.10 package.

@rjmholt Did you make any packigng changes for the RPM package? (anything we nee to do to support Fedora 27?)

The other thought I had when looking at new release packaging was the the URLs we use for Ubuntu packages should be updated.
