Release alias permalinks

-Release aliases are for lazy people. -They also have a longer lifetime, -e.g., "netbsd" always points to the latest NetBSD release. +Release aliases are short names that always point to the latest +release of an operating system, e.g., "netbsd" links to the newest +NetBSD release. Links using an alias stay valid when a new release +comes out.
