Well, according to you I don't understand what you're saying, and also
Michael doesn't understand what you're saying, but maybe it's
coincidence?
I can only speak for myself though, IMHO, a rolling distro model
wouldn't work well in Mageia. It'll mean more work for packagers and
instead of packagers
concentrating/working-more/giving-more-of-their-free-time before a
release is pushed to polish their packages / fix critical bugs in
them, the workload will increase throughout the whole year, because
new versions are released all the time by upstream.

I was mainly talking about major version upgrades in stable releases,
whether they go to backports or updates, that'll be according to the
policy the project leaders agree on. Packaging policies should always
be used, to maintain the quality of the packages in the distro.
FWIW the argument that a rolling distro will cause less mirror size is
a bit wrong, main/updates + main/backports are always much smaller
than main/release, the same goes for contrib (though contrib/release
is bigger than all other repos put together).
