because the spectrum of officially supported (long term) kernel trees is 
wide (8 exactly). So, there must be a decision and for the above mentioned 
the "difference" between 4.9 and 4.10 does not justify to have both as compared 
to 4.4 and 4.10 (thats my personal explication and I'm not an elrepo member).
