This PR is motivated by the discussion in https://discuss.python.org/t/how-can-build-backends-avoid-breaking-users-when-they-make-backwards-incompatible-changes/85847.

The core idea is to provide advice for people with mission critic systems/pipelines or environments with very little tolerance for unforeseen (and sometimes accidental) disruptions when building packages.

It seems that the linkcheck is broken, but in a file that is not affected by this PR?

(guides/installing-using-linux-tools: line   88) broken    https://developers.redhat.com/products/softwarecollections/overview - 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://developers.redhat.com/products/softwarecollections/overview

I am also able to access the URL from the browser:

so possibly that is just a hiccup?
