Debian's wheezy has been frozen for 8 months now, and unstable is relatively frozen as well during this period. It is not a rolling release.

And will ubuntu still "roll" as much when Debian is frozen? ;-)

To me it all sounds again like the right step of reducing the huge gap initially introduced in ubuntu by making it too much detached from Debian. So eventually we might arrive at the right level of synergy between the community and company-driven projects

And Ubuntu won't do that to produce its next LTS?
