Greg, we'll likely keep maintaining "stable 4.4.X" separately from "stable + changes for cip hardware, aka 4.4.X-cipY". Would it be okay if we simply kept tagging those kernels as 4.4.303 / 4.4.304 / ...? 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.
