I agree this could be a way to do it, which would maybe scare less
some people of the "so-feared rolling", but there still would need a
way to update "simply" one's installation without having to download a
big iso with 90% in it we won't care in an upgrade (where we have
updated most of the other packages, non critical, periodically through
rolling release).
I think it is so insane so many distributions are still with an
"update by CD" logics (even though it is partly modernized with
dropping the iso into an usb stick, or even simply mounting it
directly, I think that is still so backwards that this is the major
advertized way to do it).
