I dont think there is a massive user base waiting for a rolling release really. Rolling release automatically implies a level of disruption periodically everytime a major component is bumped up. Esp for binary distros, this isn't that great a user experience. I would participate in such a effort but I don't buy the idea of this as a trend Rahul -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
