The release notes for 4.y.z are published around when the errata is published, which also triggers 4.y.z's inclusion in fast-4.y and similar channels. Release page candidate entries like 4.9.5 currently link to a release note entry, but before 4.9.5's errata is published, that entry won't exist. Possible mitigations:
1. Remove the release-notes link for all candidate entries. This will never link to a non-existent location, and the lack-of-link for post-errata releases is mitigated by "user looks a few pixels up and sees the same 4.y.z with a release-notes link under fast-4.y".
2. Do something clever in the release page logic like "only link the candidate entry to release notes when you have the same 4.y.z as the tip of candidate-4.y and fast-4.y".
3. Keep the current behavior. Customers are unlikely to click through to release notes for the candidate release, and if they do, a bit of scrolling around when they land will remind them that the candidate release isn't GA yet.
4. Other?
I'm personally agnostic between 1 and 2, and prefer both of them to 3.
