I was unable to find out where the "is the newest major release of the Python programming language" string for 3.11.x was located (but I did not devote much time for the investigation either ...):

For 3.11.4, it is true that it's the newest major release of Python, but that's not true for 3.11.3 and older. Perhaps "the newest stable release of Python" is more accurate.

(I reverted 252ddbd as it broke CI, and I have no time to investigate that)

It seems like these are only present in the fixtures/downloads.json file, which I think means it is stored in the database as markdown and just gets rendered in its entirety? So possibly someone (the release manager?) is writing this by hand (or has a template they use for it)

Yep, makes sense.

The changes here are for the fixtures. The contents itself is managed in the CMS in the live database.

Happy to merge, but it will have no impact on the live pages at python.org. Someone from @python/python-release-managers will need to update the existing CMS contents.

If it has no impact, there's no need to merge :) Thanks for the info!

The change to docs/source/administration.rst is still relevant, yes? It's a tiny point but perhaps would help nudge future announcements to use precise wording.
