I'm pretty sure we don't want our documentation saying to get images
from
stc.fedoraproject.org, at least not the final documentation.
The released images, and rawhide images, can be found at
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/iot/29/IoT/
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/iot/rawhide/IoT/
Ha!
I wrote that before verifying where those download links when to.
Disregard what I said
