[Bug 1730322] Re: Add HWE kernel and point release URL for new hardware

[dann frazier]

** Description changed:

- For some platform we need Ubuntu LTS point release with HWE kernel. It
- is necessary to mention that so that user can download correct LTS
- binaries and power up their machine.
- 
  [Impact]
- 
-  * Installation-guide does not mention HWE kernel and point release. User can
-    not find inforamtion in help.ubuntu.com
+ The installation guide currently has a static list of supported arm64 server platforms. This is a cumbersome way to store this information as it is constantly changing, and these systems are becoming sufficiently standardized as to not require platform-specific instructions.
  
  [Test Case]
+ N/A - text change.
  
-  * Describe HWE kernel and point release in help.ubuntu.com
+ [Fix]
+ Let's flush the platform-specific content and instead direct users to a more malleable wiki page. 
  
  [Regression Potential]
- 
-  * This is documentation which introduces lowest risk on regression.
+ Uncareful readers maybe confused by the disappearance of their favorite platforms from the list - although they should just follow the wiki.

** Changed in: installation-guide (Ubuntu Disco)
       Status: New => In Progress
