Distribution quotes of the week

Since this has been a major request from users for a long time, I can only [be] cool with the idea of seeing the Debian project support a rolling release. However I'm not pleased with the proposed ideas, since they don't actually include any serious plan to make this happen. Sorry guys, but a big GR that says « We want a pony rolling release to happen » doesn't achieve anything.

The feedback that started (or at least helped springboard) this massive thread was that "when we're releasing, everything else grinds to a halt, maybe it doesn't need to", followed by pondering whether there was a better way to manage this. My initial proposal apparently smelled a bit like rolling, which got out people from both the pro- and con- rolling camps, and unfortunately it seems that a good deal of the discussion ended up splintering off in that direction.
