Some people will even go as far as doing this in steps.
From 4.0-STABLE, they upgrade to 4.1-RELEASE,
from 4.1-RELEASE to 4.2-RELEASE,
from 4.2-RELEASE to 4.3-RELEASE,
from 4.3-RELEASE to 4.4-RELEASE,
and finally from 4.4-RELEASE to 4.4-STABLE.

This involves more buildworlds than a change that goes straight from
4.0-STABLE to 4.4-STABLE, but I think the extra time for compiling and
applying the changes in smaller, easier to digest steps, pays back :)
