I think the issue here is that releasing 3.4.3 hides the newer 3.5.0
release (PyPI does that by default).

Any admin can go to a very-well-hidden PyPI view (the link for which is
not available, thanks to the new "your package list is truncated"
feature of PyPI)

  http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=pkg_edit&name=zope.contenttype

and therein un-hide the 3.5.0 release.

I've done so now, assuming that people would like to see the _latest_
version of a package on PyPI.

I don't know if 3.4.3 should be hidden or not, so I left it alone.

But you have to take care not to hide older releases of newer versions.
