Good Morning,
Could anyone comment on the implications of the upcoming 4.5 release on users who are using 4.4 and are happy with it? By doing regular updates

my 4.4 machines am I essentially running 4.5? Are there any compelling lifespan reasons to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.5?
Minor numbers are update revisions. When 4.5 is released, and you run 'yum update' on 4.4, you'll get 4.5.
4.5 is 4.x + bug/security fixes to that point. The lifespan for centos4 is 7 years. During that time, you'll have 4.0 thru 4.18 or whatever the final minor point revision ends up being.
Basically yes, you want this upgrade.
