Where I'm concerned most is that in my area this is the time 
of year where sysadmins in schools/institutions are rigging 
their systems for the semester. They prefer stability and 
resemblance to existing documentation/courseware.
They don't care so much about features other than 
MSO-interoperability, and often they distrust any X.x.0 version.

Even if decent sysadmins would easily find a version to suit 
their needs, most of the pupils will download (for home use) 
the first version offered to them, which may not be identical.

Then there is an argument that LO-3.5 is better localised in 
my language than LO-3.6.

Just thoughts,
