Understood. But the only things going into the rpi-4.4.y branch now, are
making it more stable rather than less stable. As 4.4. is LTS and the
next LTS kernel is 4.9, the Pi guys have stated an intention to stick
with a 4.4 branch as "stable", I guess, until the 4.9 release. From your
POV, I'd suggest there is little risk with following as closely as
possible to get the bugfixes and new board support ASAP, with little
risk to you or the stability of your distro. Any development now, is
really taking place with 4.7 or above. (4.7 is the stable branch in my
world, 4.8 development.)

The Allo Piano DAC? Well, the Piano DAC 2.1 USP being the *2.1* sub
output or active crossover..... and the fact that I see that being a
long way away from being accepted, driver wise.... given what they were
trying to lash together via the pcm512x codec driver to support having
2x PCM5142 DAC's on a single board. The current "basic" driver support
negates the USP and just leaves "yet another 2 channel stereo PCM5xxx"
DAC HAT. Although, you could argue nicely designed with much attention
given to the power supply side of the design. But without the Kali
(re-clocker) board sandwiched between it and the Pi, it's nothing
special compared to the usual PCM5xxx suspects......
