About this I have a question: the switchers for english version of 3.4 and 3.5 are disabled (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.python.org/3.5/">https://docs.python.org/3.5/</a>) but not disabled for translations (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.python.org/fr/3.5/">https://docs.python.org/fr/3.5/</a>). 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.</pre>

Yes, exactly! The place to document the process would be PEP 101.
(Or, if you wanted to volunteer to handle building and deploying the
online docs <i>for</i> the RMs, that works too!)<br>
<br>
I know there's an automated system that rebuilds the docs on a
regular (daily? hourly?) basis for certain versions. I suspect the
RMs all have login credentials for the machine where that happens.
If you could make it so we could manually kick off a doc rebuild for
a specific version (and tell us how to do it) that would be perfect!<br>
