I don't see where you get the impression that stage1 will start soon. Certainly
stage3 of 4.4 will end soon, but that will be followed by the usual regression
and documentation fixes phase until we reach the magic 100 regressions at
which point we will consider releasing 4.4.0. Only after that happened
stage1 will start. I do not expect this to happen this year.
