A side by side list of features between the version would help.

What I am afraid of is when 3.6.0 comes out, then the download page will 
recommend and automatically direct you to that x.x.0 version over the 
3.5.5 version.  We should not recommend or default to downloading a 
x.x.0 version over latest x.x.5 version of the precious line.  That is 
my big issue.

Also, make it as easy as possible to give business users all the needed 
info to make an intelligent decision for choosing which version of LO to 
download and use.  Let them see a side by side comparison between the 
current version of the lines.  That will also show the user how much 
improvements have been made in the package between the different lines.  
That is also good marketing.
