The final 4.4 stable kernel has been released
With a more lengthy than usual message, Greg Kroah-Hartman has released the 4.4.302 stable kernel; it will be the last from the stable kernel team in the 4.4.x series. "Do not use it anymore unless you really know what you are doing." He notes that the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) project is considering maintaining 4.4 into the future; those interested should contact CIP. He also added some statistics showing a nearly six-year lifetime for the branch with 8.44 changes per day from over 3500 developers.
It was a good kernel branch, helped out by many to work as well as it has, thanks to all for your help with this. It has powered many millions, maybe a few billion, devices out in the world, but now it's time to say good-bye.
