Again, speaking for myself, I don't have time or desire to go and research rolling releases and come up with a plan. I would be happy to look at such a plan and provide feedback. I can think of several possible good things that could come out of a more detailed plan: - Perhaps you can identify some more minor change in our release setup that could be done to more accommodate people who like rolling releases. - Perhaps the group would form up a new forked distro using rolling releases. - Perhaps you could convince people that advantages of rolling releases are better than the disadvantages. On the other hand, I think that the chance of any change or good coming from prolonging this thread are slight. kevin
