Long-term, yes. :-)  But for the time being, centos-release-xen still
points to 4.4, so if you want 4.6, you have to install the 46 package.

The idea is to give people currently on 4.4, who may want to *stay* on
4.4, a window to notice (and test) the new centos-release-xen-44
package before having centos-release-xen automatically update.
