OK, after several votes of 'move it now', it was pointed out to me that 
all my documentation talks about 4x as being the latest release.  So 
it's technically not released until I move that link.

The link is now moved.  If you have 'yum-conf-4x' installed, you should 
now be able to do a

   yum clean all
   yum update

And it will update you to 4.4.

Thanks
Troy
