That is because the 440-server driver is going to be supported until it
reaches EOL i.e. until November 2020, and we are going to keep it until
then:
https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/tesla-software-lifecycle/index.html

We do not apply the same policy to UDA drivers, which is why we are
replacing the 440 release with the 450 release.

I hope this clears things up.
