Bug ID: 1354201
           Summary: SUSE Studio ImageWriter probably shouldn't be
                    recommended
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
         Component: install-guide

Description of problem:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/24/html/Installation_Guide/sect-...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 23
Fedora 24

Actual results:

Docs says "Download and run the SUSE Studio ImageWriter or Rawrite32." The
ImageWriter link URL is
https://github.com/downloads/openSUSE/kiwi/ImageWriter.exe

The problems are:
- I can't verify the provenance of the binary downloaded from that link. I get
404 errors when I try to get to each parent directory, so I have no idea what
this binary really is, who produced it, how old it is, what version it is, etc.
I think recommending users download an almost random binary on Windows of all
OS's probably isn't good advice.

- openSUSE considers ImageWriter unmaintained. "We used to have SUSE Studio
ImageWriter compiled for windows, but this is not maintained anymore."
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Create_a_Live_USB_stick_using_Windows

And they point to a different URL for that project than we do, which hasn't had
a pull request or issue responded to in over a year. Nevertheless the code
there is probably newer than the binary we're offering to download.

Expected results:

Let's just recommend Rawrite32, it's recently updated and it looks like the
binaries are signed.
