> Moving any large change has challenges - whether periodic or rolling. In that sense, they are no different - both can be a PITA. However, in a rolling model you have the advantage of it being the -only- change you need to do .. which is far less an issue than the compound change impact .. and many more people can explore the testing repo with only that one single change, which allows kinks to be worked out sooner. I know you've held this view a while however - when you guys created kde-redhat to allow fedora stable users to explore the 'new kde stuff' - that is exactly how a rolling release works. You've actually been doing it already .. .. :-) Now if Adam W. would just step up again and offer to drive this forward ..
