A key difference though is that with actual releases people can do the upgrade at a good time for them to do it. With a rolling release bad things can happen at especially inconvenient time.

I'd rather see us do a better job with rawhide so that more people use it and a better job at making upgrades go smoother so that people just trying to get stuff done with Fedora have a better experience.
