This seems to apply to 4.4; according to https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html 4.9 has not been extended, so it only applies every few years that there will again be six year support.

4.4 is Google's base to develop Nougat

If, as per the table below [1], they've already moved on to 4.10, then 6 years is a long time to support 4.9
