The only problem I see is that it could dramatically increase the traffic to update sites, but I'm not too familiar with the gnome package sizes these days. /djs I’m totally for it.

I know that there was once talk of the Grumpy Groundhog as a rolling development distribution, but that never seemed to materialize as far as I can tell. Is there a chance that either that or a stable-ish rolling release would be established at some point? Just curious, because having some sort of rolling release that more technical users could work with would be able to identify and clear up issues more quickly, possibly even before releases because the infrastructure could be changed just enough that the periodic releases would come from the rolling ones.
