It wouldn't need to be a full series in the Launchpad sense; we could use a pocket, which is much more lightweight. E. g. "raring" would take the role of "monthly" while the raring-daily pocket would take the role of "rolling release"; this could even be raring-updates, we don't use this pocket right now and it's already there. But it would be using the "dist-upgrade" mode of update-manager either way, of course. > At the very least it should be very easy to switch between using the > monthly and going to the rolling release; software-properties UI for > instance, or perhaps also a command-line tool. Yeah, this would merely mean to enable or disable the pocket which provides the delta between "last monthly" and "daily".
