I believe in both -- and I believe Fedora could have both -- "rolling release" and "major releases" as a separate "products". There are people in the wild who will never use Fedora as the workstation system because they seek for rolling distro (while Rawhide is _almost_ there). It is sad we loose those users. > I suggested one release a year as an alternative to the current two per > year.

(For example, GNOME.) Would the 'rolling release' approach help WRT upstream stakeholders, even if we had longer major release cycle?
