Removing it from that website does not mean, that you cannot get it. You 
can get every former released version from 
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old

But those versions will get no bugfixes at all. Especially they will get 
no security bug fixes.

I do not understand your problem. You should already have 6.4.7 and 
there will never be a 6.4.8. So why do you need a download link at that 
website?

Kind regards
