This "recommended" question has been brought up before.

I think "they" recommend the ".0" version for you to try it and help 
discover the bugs that the RC1 and RC2 version users did not find.

Personally, I thing that the word "recommend" needs to be changed, since 
I do not think we should recommend a ".0" version to our business users 
or those who need a more bug-free, issue-free, version.  I usually wait 
till the ".3" or ".4" version before I recommend a new line.

But, the word was not changed when the 3.5.0 version came out and may 
not change when 3.7.0 comes out.

At least I do not see a button recommending a Debian repository version 
of LO anymore.

SO
it would be nice to have some more text to replace the "recommended" 
word next to 3.6.0 and some text associated with the 3.5.5 link as 
well.  Maybe something like "give our newest cutting edge version a try" 
and 3.5.5 having "most stable version of the previous line".
