I have not head much on this thread, and during the CVE disclosure updated the release history to indicate 4.4 is stable, 4.2 is maintenance (and nearing end-of-life):
Here are some PRs to make the change on the website and version selector:
- Documentation page: stable, maintenance headings by jodygarnett · Pull Request #73 · geonetwork/website · GitHub
- Update docs.yml to publish 4.4 as stable by jodygarnett · Pull Request #9502 · geonetwork/core-geonetwork · GitHub
- 4.2.x: Change alias from 'stable' to 'maintenance' for docs by jodygarnett · Pull Request #9503 · geonetwork/core-geonetwork · GitHub
