Description:
See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

"Online Documentation:

    Installation Instructions, Documentation and Change History
    for the MySQL 5.7 Milestone Release

    Installation Instructions, Documentation and Change History
    for the MySQL 5.6 Generally Available (GA) Release

    Installation Instructions, Documentation and Change History
    for the MySQL 5.5 Generally Available (GA) Release
"
-> 5.7 still called "Milestone Release" there

"Looking for previous GA versions?

    MySQL Community Server 5.5 »

    MySQL Community Server 5.1 »

    Archived versions »
"

-> 5.6 not in the list of "previous GA versions" yet
   which makes it sort of invisible (although I assume
   it is in the "Archived versions"

How to repeat:
Change "Milestone release" to "GA release" in Documentation section, add 5.6 item to "previous GA versions" list ...

The text in "how to repeat" was actually meant to be "Suggested fix"

And "Package Repos ..." category was chosen as I could not find an explicit "Download Site" category ...?
