Fabric examples in documentation

[Tim Graham]

From https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29360:

  "The ​Serving the site and your static files from the same server and the ​Serving static files from a dedicated server documentation references Fabric and fabfiles. Fabric (as linked in the docs) is a Python 2.5-2.7 only project. This should probably change since Django 2.0+ is Python3 only.

Fabric has a ​roadmap for Python 3 support, last updated May 2015. They propose moving eventually to a Fabric2 ... unfortunately there already exists a ​Fabric3 fork, so keeping Fabric in the docs could (eventually) lead to confusion."

What do you think is the best way to proceed here?

I'd just drop the paragraph

A little bit more information: Fabric2 has been actively developed over the last year, but is still Alpha (may get api changes):

I agree removing references to fabric might be the way to go. There are lots of ways to deploy files.
