Why, oh why, do the python.org front page and other pages that offer
a Windows download not say a word about it not running on Windows XP?

Even if one is anal enough to go to the page about the 3.5 release.
  https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350/
a page with a lot of Windows-specific info, there is not a word
about XP.

Or perhaps the number of posts to this list are declining and having
people download Python-3.5, have it fail, and then ask why here is
part of a secret plan to increase list volume?
