When this issue was brought to the TRB, it more or less decided (there wasn't 
a formal vote, more of a consensus) that 4.x -> HEAD releases on the same 
arch can be supported.  As another person who works on the release Makefile, 
I don't find this change too obfuscating.  I know that you don't agree with 
what the TRB consensus, but at some point you just need to accept it and stop 
complaining about it every time it pops up.
