Meaning it will be earlier later than September 2015. 4.4.3 was released in August which was too soon. I think it is right to err on the side of stopping later than we said. Did we stop adding backports to staging-4.4 in September, i.e. is 4.4.4 going to be fixes from August-September + security issues until the release date? > > > (maybe those EOLs - ??? could be whatever the respective dates were, I > > didn't try and backtrack to try and find out if reality matched the > > plan) > > At least for the older ones it's probably not worth to reconstruct. 4.2 > had > its security support ended in Sept 2015.
