Particularly I wouldn't like to see this thread dying as happened in other occasions, after all, we know that discussions may not lead to anything, and sometimes small actions can be more productive than long threads [1]. I wonder if we could create a poll (for active members with FAS accounts) to determine what the community thinks about it. After the poll, if the idea of rolling release receives most votes then would be the time to discuss "how" and "when" doing the implementation.
