We will certainly want a 2.4.4 release eventually. In fact I'd expect
2.4.x gets maintained for longer than the usual 18 months, as it's the
last 2.x branch.
It doesn't need to happen before 3.0, but could. Usually maintenance
releases happen 3-4 months apart and the last one was 2 months ago. If
these are significant issues, sure. It'll probably be August before
it's out anyway.
