Having the next release parallel installable with the previous release would allow people to test things out more thoroughly, and switch back when they encounter a "this breaks my stuff" problem.

actually getting builds Posted Sep 26, 2013 14:32 UTC (Thu) by walters (subscriber, #7396) [Link] That is exactly is the goal of the OSTree project; it allows clean parallel installation of multiple versions of multiple independent operating systems, without hacking around at the block layer with partitions or btrfs snapshots. There are people working on integrating Debian packages, Arch packages, and yum/rpm with it now. There's still a lot to do for this, but I think once it's ready it will have a dramatic impact on the end user experience with Free Software development streams.
