Satellite 6.16 has been released and still supports subscription allocations. This PR updates the language to reflect this.

The update will appear in the "Important" admonition here.

This work is being tracked in AAP-36858

LGTM


Make this change to any firewall configuration that specifically enables outbound connections to `registry.redhat.io` or `registry.access.redhat.com`.

Use the hostnames instead of IP addresses when configuring firewall rules.

After making this change you can continue to pull {ExecEnvShort}s from `registry.redhat.io` and `registry.access.redhat.com`. You do not require a `quay.io` login, or need to interact with the `quay.io` registry directly in any way to continue pulling Red Hat container images.

However, manifests, sometimes called “subscription allocations”, on the web-based Red Hat Subscription Management are no longer supported as of early 2024 with one exception: If a system is part of a closed network or “air gapped” system that does not receive its updates from Red Hat's servers directly, manifests are supported until the release of Red Hat Satellite 6.16. Keep up to date with link:https://access.redhat.com/articles/1365633[Red Hat Satellite Release Dates] for Red Hat Satellite 6.16's release date announcement.
If you are using Red Hat Satellite Server, follow the link:https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_satellite/6.15/html/managing_content/managing_red_hat_subscriptions_content-management#Importing_a_Red_Hat_Subscription_Manifest_into_Server_content-management[procedure in the Red Hat Satellite documentation to import a subscription manifest into Satellite Server].

How are you going to keep this link up to date? Satellite releases y-stream versions every 6 months. Current release is 6.16. 6.17 will be released in March 2025.

Thanks @apinnick , I replaced the version in the URL with a version attribute that should update to the latest version. Let me know if you have further feedback.
