That's correct. We'll maintain 4.4 and 4.4-rt going forward, at least
on hardware our members care about.

CIP project is committed to maintain 4.4.x kernel till January of 2027
[1]. We are maintaining -cip branch [2], that is stable kernel with about
1000 of patches to support our reference hardware [3] and -cip-rt
branch, with is merge of -rt and -cip trees.

If you for some reason need 4.4.x with bug and security fixes, and are
running similar hardware to our reference hardware (x86-64 and armv7),
-cip tree may be good base for that work. Testing of the -cip tree is
welcome, as is joining the CIP project.
