BTW, what is your setup for a cold storage, running Bitcoin Core on persisted volume of Tails or something else?

Thank you very much, so I will use 26.

I know that version 26 of the Core Client was released at the beginning of this month. But Bitcoin.org is still prominently offering version 25. See:
https://bitcoin.org/en/download
Does this have anything to do with stability?

You should learn and understand that the site https://bitcoin.org is not the official site for Bitcoin Core. Bitcoin Core's official site is https://bitcoincore.org. Bitcoin Core devs have basically no access to https://bitcoin.org as far as I remember or know.

As said, there is no reason why you shouldn't use 26.0 over 25.0, or any other version for that matter. These are stable releases which are good for regular users, as opposed to release candidates which are found on GitHub as well.
If you're thinking of whether you should update, then you should look at the release notes, for 26.0, it's here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/26.0/. If there isn't anything particularly enticing for you, specifically any new features, then you can consider holding it off. Updates which are mandatory will be made known.

I want to set up a device as a cold wallet. This machine will be disconnected from the network at some point and then never updated again. That's why I'm thinking about it. Should I use the 26 version or should I stick with 25? I am planning a (nowadays) normal hd wallet, as the core client currently generates by default.

I would advocate 26th which is the latest flavor of Bitcoin Core with some improvement listed here. You can download it from the official site run by developers. Bitcoin.org, being run by reputable community's member, likely, was not updated yet.
