Description
Hi There,
I've a couple of legacy client sites that cause a break in jQuery which we all know about. As such we've kept these installations on the 4.4.x branch for now. With the release of 4.5.2, 4.4.3 also saw a release.
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.
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:
FWIW That's only when running a development version, if you're running a stable release it would have only offered the option to update.
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.
I would also agree with this and wouldn't support adding an option to update to a point release on an older branch.
Developers who understand what they're doing can achieve this using CLI tools, GIT/SVN externals, or using the ZIP directly.
Automatic updates are rolled out over multiple hours to reduce server load on the dotorg infrastructure.

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.
