I think It could be worthwhile to look at openSUSE's Tumbleweed setup for rolling releases. They use openQA for automatic testing of every package in the distribution, and then release the binaries as snapshots for users to update. Pretty similar to how nixpkgs git -> Hydra -> cache works, with an additional testing phase. I _think_ they provide it hosted, and if it's similar to OBS, they actively encourage community members and distros to use their infrastructure.

Good point. I guess it would be worth trying out and we can see how many people use this.

I was thinking something more rolling would be nice too. Like a lightly tested. Although that would definitely have more maintenance costs.
