Of course!!!

But the two things are not excluding one another (!!!) so that we could:
- improve 3.6.x branch (I have personally already abandoned the 3.5 one 
and start to use and test the 3.6 in my engineer activity too, but I am 
a computer science industrial engineer and I know how to behave in case 
of simple (?) troubles...);
- make People to download the 3.5.6 or next 3.5.x as stable and 
production oriented branch for a couple of months still;
- let People absolutely (!!!) know - and in the main (!!!) download page 
too - there is a richer 3.6.x branch and try it with the mind/thought 
that it is an initial/first release version so that they do not think 
that LibreOffice - at all - is still an "unstable" office suite...

This could people to love LibreOffice stability and - in case - test and 
adopt new features...

Me and many other People out there are working to spread LibreOffice 
installation and effective/real use in many working reality: I 
personally do not think that we want to destroy all this marketing and 
adoption work all over the World...

Personally I have installed and first explained LibreOffice to many 
Customer of mine among them there is the Venice Professional Engineer 
Association ("Ordine degli Ingegneri di Venezia"), to which I belong to. 
It is already happened that in a 300 engineer meeting I must go on the 
presentation notebook in the stage/platform - during the meeting itself 
- to install LibreOffice with the video projector on (!!!) because a 
lawyer speaker went there with an odp presentation and in the notebook 
there were only (!!!) Microsoft Office 2007...

I think that the green LibreOffice - 3.5.4 at the time was - splash 
screen in the wall and the next successful run of the presentation are 
surely two very good marketing happening in front of over 300 People 
that I do not want to waste as well as all Our (TDF Community at all) 
world wide - surely professional - activity.

There will be always a new (features richer) version, but remember that 
90% of People use 20% of features and must use it in a rock stable manner!!!

Have a nice weekend,

Carlo
