+Jun 17th, '11, 19:26 I think the whole discussion is dominated by 
+"technical" users.
+I, as a simple user, need a stable, secure system where I can use my 
+applications.
+
+Gnome 2, 3, 4 ??? KDE 4.6, 4. 7, 5.0 ??? What does it matter.
+At the office a must use a system called xp, but for our 10.000 girls 
+and boys it runs stable.
+That's it.
+
+I admit, this is a very simple view.
+But for me and a lot of users a very important criterion.
+I don`t believe this can provide a "rolling release" (in the moment).
+
+So I prefer a a reasonable release cycle with enough time for the 
+development and the qa.
+For example, a new release every nine months brings me the new 
+developments, not just the latest.
+But I can also update my system with a clear conscience and without 
+great risks.
+
+The technicans can play with cauldron and the latest developments ;-)
