Add a link to the Fedora 26 Release Annoucnement in the infobox about Fedora 26 on the index page of getfedora.org

Why should we link to a magazine article? People probably also come from there, a better link would be the download page, but we have three of them and can't do that.
Users who are on getfedora.org IMO are looking for the editions. We have the link on the Workstation download page though, which targets better most of the visitors of getfedora.org, as the article is very generic and short, but even desktop oriented.

Having a link here to the official release announcement is a good idea IMHO. For users that end up at get Fedora, there is no information at all about the new release. I'm not advocating that we add this information, but a simple link to the official announcement imo fills this need.

After a month or so after release we should remove this banner altogether, as It is not really a new release anymore.

And what about the other websites?
