That's true, however, 4.4.3 brought in some regressions over 4.4.2.
I've filed bugs over at bugs.kde.org but I've not gotten a response
yet. I was hoping they'd have been fixed in 4.4.4. One of the
regressions is rather annoying (laptop suspends again after
return-from-suspend).

If anybody is tallying up votes, I'd much rather see 4.4.4 in openSUSE
11.3 right from the get-go, and any regressions or bugfixes applied as
online updates. That seems both less invasive and less work than
shipping 4.4.3 and later sending out 4.4.4 as an online update, or
fixing the 4.4.3 issues outright.
