Yes, but we realistically aren't going to do a build again before Jan
anyway unless there is a major CVE that pops up. If one does, we'd
backport it ourselves, or we'd leverage the fact that someone else has
picked up long term maintenance of 4.2.y.

Sure, I meant as an argument against skipping 4.3 entirely. I don't know
that I want to go through Jan backporting bits and supporting 4.2 when 4.3
is a good option until 4.4 is ready for us to push to stable releases.
