4.3.3 has now been release but no sign of it in F23.
It won't be submitted until January. We don't want to do a major rebase
the week before most of us go away on PTO. There is a COPR that
contains builds from the stabilization branch in Fedora git for those
that wish to jump early.
Did not know about that corp repo hence I have to ask...
Is that the latest stable kernel release ( 4.3.3 ) and will always
Not yet. It will be updated to 4.3.3 (or 4.3.4) at some point this
week, but 4.3.3 has a known memory leak.

It won't always even exist. It's temporary.
Perhaps it's better to just build the kernel in koji and have people
fetch it directly from there, at least I fail to see what overhead of
creating/maintaining a copr repo for just a single GA release is
supposed to add to the table.
hitting problems with the
rawhide kernel, they should report the bugs.
People are using rawhide kernel with stable release workstation (
F22/F23 ) not rawhide workstation with rawhide.
Nobody but someone that's doing direct testing or development does that
since rawhide will never be stable enough for "normal" people to do any
work.
( thou certain people exist in the community are under the illusion that
it ever will and seem to be putting efforts in trying to achieve which
in turn contradicts the entire existence of rawhide in the first place
but good for them )
It is also a good idea to
keep at least one known good working kernel installed on a rawhide
machine, which is one of the main motivations for having 3 kernels
installed at a time anyway.
If not they will quickly learn.
Many of those individuals are individuals that have no clue what they
are doing and are running the latest kernel based on the word in the
street ( street being the internet ) that it fixes something for them.
Good example of that is when David first introduced displayport mst
support in Fedora, people that owned thinkpads jumped on those
kernel+intel builds in the masses since it quickly became common
knowledge it got things working for them.
One could use this COPR to get a stable
kernel I guess, but it would involve manual installation if they're
already on 4.4-rcX because RPM would view the COPR builds as older.
Nodebug ( for kernel testing ) or fetch from koji specific built is how
people are ( and where taught when I was ambassador ) how to get these
things if they needed a specific build.
