Arguably it's never a good thing to skip entire kernel release since you
loose potential feedback from that release.
It's better to adapt a ( faster ) re-base model.
So far there has not been any problems that I'm aware of with the rebase
model in place with the exception of it's ( intentional ) initial delay
from upstream release or when the kernel has been split into ( more ) sub
components but Josh and the rest of the kernel community might be aware of
other shortcomings moving the entire Fedora GA release to the same kernel at
the same time when the first 0.1 release has been made and immediately after
it has been made ( unless ofcourse there are holidays in the horizon which
is the case here and people unavailable during that time ).
We're talking a one of situation and I'm very aware of all the Fedora
kernel history for years. The scenario I mention above is only
suggested because 1) the timing of both is very close 2) 4.4 is due to
be a LTS kernel and it's likely as a result a lot are ignoring 4.3
altogether 3) a large chunk of QA work to then suddenly have to rebase
again in a short period of time.
It was a query to Josh, nothing more.
