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.
I would personally advise against this way forward. I'd like to suggest
an alternative:
* Gather folks interested in this (you should be able to see some from
this thread). Perhaps announce that you are forming a group to look
into this.
* Get together and write up a wiki page / detailed proposal, answering:
- How would this work?
- What resources would you need?
- What impact does it have on maintainers? users? release engineering?
- Would this work alongside the current setup? Or would it be one or
the other?
- Try and answer questions raised by folks in this thread.
- Try and list advantages. Why would we want to do this? what does it
get us?
* Post again once you have details and ask for more feedback.
* Repeat cycle until you find it's ready and then ask fesco to take a
look.
Just a suggestion...
