Historically, ISC has had multiple supported 'stable' versions of 
isc-dhcpd.  In this particular case, 4.4.x is an upcoming release and 
the current version is a beta.

Enterprises will typically stick with a particular stable release until 
something compels them to go through the potential hassle/risk of 
switching.

At the moment, the isc-dhcp43-* would be considered preferred.
