* add a note that if a package is not listed as noteworthy in the 10.2 release, the differences between that package and previous 10.x packages is probably negligible. Linked to the 10.0 and 10.1 release notes for those migrating to version 10 for the first time.
* remove any sections not covered with a major change in 10.2
* add to sections as needed
* update links
* remove "Current" from the meta for the release notes for 10.1

Please note that the sections for supported architecture and RISC-V, came directly from the 10.1 release untouched. If these need modification, please let me know OR push a fix to the doc. Thanks!

NOTE: This PR requires the addition of an updated .pages file. It is not included in the PR, because we never know if the minor version of 9 or the minor version of 10 will release first. I may issue two separate PRs for this, with the idea that one will be closed without merging depending on the minor release order of release.

@lumarel I'm trying to figure this one out. Included twice in this document? I reviewed 10.1 and it wasn't mentioned there. I did not go back to 10.0, so maybe??

Suggested change
!!! info "Deprecated Software"
Some Application Streams, which are part of the Rocky Linux 10.2 repositories, will not receive any further updates. This is a regular occurrence that happens with nearly every release. Please make sure that you are using the latest supported version of the software.

As now starts the time where stuff gets deprecated, we need that message, this time it's only Tomcat 9 so far.


- GCC 15.1
- Binutils 2.44
