That is worrying, Rohit. As the rest of your mail is already a vote of distrust, this part says we should not release 4.4.2 as it contains regressions. This is a very bad signal to users and the rest of the community. What you are saying is (you in transitive form), 'we won't port fixes to 4.4 but only to 4.3 so upgrade to newer 4.3 versions and not to a 4.4 version. You have the right to do so but I don't like it. Fortunately, I met people at CCCEU stating that 4.4 was working perfectly for them. Unfortunately an incompatibility seldom is just for- or backward. Most of the time it is two way. Will you support transitioning from 4.4 to 4.5 as rigorously as you now discourage the transition to 4.4? I think you will need to. -- Daan
