We use official RPM packages from
https://www.pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.php/Yum_Repository
We have many customer installs of pgpool and, in most cases, packages
are updated as part of the change control process customers have.

I do understand that releasing minor versions more frequently than
once per quarter would put more strain on maintainers though.
Would it be easier to release a patch release for 4.4.3? For example
4.4.3-1 or similar that would include only fixes (no new features)....
If not, I understand and thank you once more for consideration.
