+Rolling is just the same as upgrade, except it take X months to do it
+with a small change everyday instead of having thing upgraded every X
+months.
+
+&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; This could look like this:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; Bring up a release once a year. The core (kernel, glib, ...) will only
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; get minor updates. Apllications like firefox, libreoffice, ... will
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; always be up to date (rolling). Maybe also the desktop envirenments
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; could be rolling but this is very heavy.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; If I understood correctly, that is exactly what the backports should
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; provide, new versions of programs when possible (no update of half of the
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; core system libraries).
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Yes, but Backports are not officially supported and we wouldn't advice new users
+</I>&gt;<i> to backports normally.
+</I>
+I am sorry, but I fail to follow your reasoning.
+
+Why wouldn't you do a comparison where in one case not recommend
+backports, and in the others, recommend them for the whole system ?
+
+If this is for ressource related reasons, why would we have the
+ressources in one case and not in the others ?
+
+And as I said in another mail, if people want to follow arch linux and
+do a better job, maybe they should start to explain what are the weak
+points of the distribution and then do proposal on stuff that can be
+done better instead of asking to copy cat hoping this would be better.
