host dart's 'release policy' verbiage

[devoncarew]

What information needs to be added?

We'd like to host Dart's release policy on dart.dev. The text should be similar to:

Each major Dart release is supported until there is a newer stable release. On average, we ship a new stable release every 3 months. We fix critical issues, including critical security problems, in supported releases as needed by issuing minor revisions (for example, Dart 3.7.1, Dart 3.7.2, and so on). Once we ship a new stable release (for example, Dart 3.8.0), we no longer patch previous stable releases.

The section header should be Release Policy or very similar, and it would be great to have an anchor so that this is directly linkable (additionally, a short go link would be great - dart.dev/go/release-policy or similar).

Where should this new content appear?

I'm not sure of the page; I believe https://dart.dev/get-dart and https://dart.dev/get-dart#release-channels have been suggested? It should be easy to find on a page, and, people looking for something like a release policy should be able to roughly guess what page it might be on.

I would like to fix this problem.

• I will try and fix this problem on dart.dev.

@antfitch would you like to add this or would you like me to?

I think a new section titled ## Release policy on the SDK overview page would make sense, with a cross-link from the intro/overview section on the Get dart page.

And as for a redirect, do use /to/release-policy rather than /go/....

Not necessary for this issue, but I think this new section could also link to the breaking changes page.

@parlough, absolutely. Send it my way when you need a review.

As an update, we'd like to refer to this as our 'Support policy'; cc @mit-mit.
