1) Have we annnounced: 4.0.2 is the standard approach.  If you haven't
upgraded from 3.44.x to 4.0.2, you're behind.  In other words, when
someone say "I want to run qgis but I don't know what version - tell
me", what do we say?

2) Have we blessed a new LTR?

Unless the answers  are reliably "x, where x is newer than 3.44" and
"yes", then I think it makes sense to maintain 3.44.x.

For getting work done, I'm using 3.44.x.  I'm pretty sure most people
would advise to use that.   So I think the answers to 1/2 are "no, and
3.44 is still  what people should run"
