Hey guys,
kernel.org lists linux 4.4.1 as "stable" but the releases page lists
it as a long term stable kernel. Which one is true?
thanks
ani

Both :) 4.4.1 is the *current* stable release and will be labeled LTS
when 4.5.1 is released. It has been this way for quite some time now.

Both :)
It hasn't had the "chance" to be a longterm stable kernel given that
there hasn't been anything to replace it yet :)
But you are right, I'll go submit a patch to the releases page to mark
it as a longterm kernel so that people don't get confused.
thanks,
