3.5 also got some doc-only changes related to the online "version switcher"
dropdown.
About this I have a question: the switchers for english version of 3.4 and 3.5
are disabled (https://docs.python.org/3.5/) but not disabled for translations
(https://docs.python.org/fr/3.5/). I don't see any mention of dropping them in
PEP 101, and I don't think it's a good thing (UX point of view).
Should I re-enable version and language switchers on 3.5? I think so and I can
do, just give me the go (or the argument/pointers on why it's disabled).
I'm not Larry but I believe the reason that the switchers are missing on the
on-line versions of 3.4 and 3.5 docs is that we release managers manually build
and update the doc sets for release branches that are in security-fix-only mode
(and that have been taken out of the automatic docs-build script) and we're not
clever enough to know to build them with the switchers enabled. If we can
document that in our release process, that would be cool.
