Comment:

 > For whatever reason, the automatic update didn't happen straight away,
 so we're having to update the sites via FTP to the 4.4.3 branch.

 Automatic updates are rolled out over multiple hours to reduce server load
 on the dotorg infrastructure.

 > It would be great, as well as the "Upgrade to 4.5.2" button in the
 Upgrade Page, there would be a "Upgrade to 4.4.3" somewhere, maybe a lot
 smaller and in a secondary style?

 There are already 4 buttons to update your WordPress installation:

 Adding another two buttons there would result in a UI that is even more
 cluttered. That's why we strive to remove most of these buttons in the
 Shiny Updates feature plugin.

 Also, I think we all want people to be on the latest and greatest
 WordPress version. Giving them an option to choose between 4.4.3 and 4.5.2
 doesn't support that.
