I would like to see Fedora following the path of rolling release.
openSUSE is doing a great job with the Tumbleweed, still keeping the
same old system of releases and letting users choose whether or not
using roling release.
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.
