Currently with Mandriva you can update to newer versions of an
application, which often entails updating a large number of packages. I
don't see what this so-called rolling distro would accomplish.

</I>That reminds me of another point. (Off topic, I know)
The idea of having a core group of essential applications, and putting
everything else (except non-free) into contrib would make the size of
contrib even more unbalanced.
