Hi Greg,

since we will base our product on 4.4, whenever you feel you could spend your time better on something else, I can continue taking care of 4.4.x afterwards.

thanks,

That's great news, thanks Jiri! If we can manage to have less fragmented extended LTS versions, we'll definitely improve overall quality.

Cheers,
