So far I'm not thrilled with what I've read in the historic Arch archives concerning how major subsystem changes are handled in their rolling fashion. I would not use, nor would I admin, a distribution which dropped GNOME 3 as a rolling update to GNOME 2 for users like Arch did. And I say this as a reasonable satisfied GNOME 3 user with family who are also currently reasonably satisfied GNOME 3 users, who opted out of updating to F15 to keep a G2 environment for another 6 months before making the switch to G3. If Arch is the best model for a rolling release, and a model we would pattern a Fedora rolling release on, then I'd probably not be participating in such a rolling process. If other people value it and can find the resources to set it up, I'll push packages into the process and respond to bug reports as part of regular packaging work to support regular releases, but I won't be using a rolling day-to-day. -jef -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
