I believe the greatest improvement in stability would be achieved if new functionality was not added in 4.4. Instead, only pre-existing bugs were fixed. I'd further suggest that the changes should be as small as possible to fix a bug. Therefore a 1000 line patch does not contain 10 lines that fixes a bug, and a further 990 lines which adds new functionality. >From previous discussions, I suspect you will disagree with me, but I still feel the need to make the point.
