Well, there's the problem all rolling releases have with that: The user (mostly) has to accept changes when the distro pushes them. If you push major updates at release boundries, users can choose to stay on the older release until they are ready to devote time to the upgrade. Some users are fine with change any old time and adapt, but others dislike that to varying degrees. kevin
