At this point anybody insisting on running 2.4.4 should grab the development
tree.

I moved the devel/current tree up to 2.4.4 last night; any testing and
debugging will be happening in
this tree not the 1.0 tree.
Functionally the development tree and the 1.0 are virtually identical, (for the
moment).
I may finish generating a 1.0 core patch for 2.4.4 but I getting a bit source
tree dizzy at this point
and may put it off for a while.
