I'll try to get core dev's attention this week; it'd require a Feature Freeze Exception (FFE) now to get v1.44.0 into 18.04 but as an LTS it would be better to have it from the start - and decide on the default installer/mkfs flags now rather than have users suffer later.

From that we could possibly release it to 16.04 xenial-backports. Not sure about 14.04 trusty though. The latest kernel for 14.04 is v4.4 (the GA 16.04 kernel).
