Hi, Tino:

That's due to the way our script currently figures out what needs to go
to the front page. If I understand the code correctly, since there are
no 3.5.x releases, the script goes straight to 3.6-rc and 3.5 doesn't
get mentioned. Let's call that a "feature" until we have a fix. :)

You can, of course, still get 3.5 from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/

Best,
