+IMHO , with backports there is no need for 
+(light/heavy/overweight/vegetarian) rolling distribution.
+
+As I see it, if you want a rolling distro, just use backports, see if 
+backports work for you, and if they do not work for you, then explain why 
+not and why rolling distro will work for you (and how will it work).
+
+I know that rolling distro, .deb, Ubuntu, synergy, SEO, 2.0 et all are 
+powerfull marketing words. But have no real value added to Mageia.
+
+There is no free lunch! To increase results (rolling distro) one must 
+increase the work (packagers, QA).
+
+Besides absolute lack of knowledge about backports, I still have failed to 
+read an answer how backports are not filling the needs for  bleeding-edge 
+users.
