+Yes, but it will never be as exciting and will not get the same
+attention as a new release of a distribution. You ever read about a
+Archlinux Beta or release party coming up? With a new release you have
+some improvements, a new design (maybe), some new features - all
+together at the same day. A rolling release is not exciting, it is as
+boring as my wrist watch (radio controlled, solar cell powered, no
+maintenace during the last 8 years). It does its job, no negative nor
+positive surprises.
+That's why people who regard their computer as a tool to get things
+done will prefer a rolling release, while others who are interested in
+the system will possibly turn to normal releases.
+
+Of course this has nothing to do with technical reasons, I only wanted
+to add this piece of thought.
