complete rolling release would put a QA strain on each of the levels. think
about it, it's not only the current package being updated, but also the
combinations with other packages. (AND also all the long time supported
versions)
This would mean that for each package being release, it'll have to work with
the current set of other packages, but also with the packages you'll be doing
next.
if you have this constant level of QA, you need alot of resources (which we
don't have in QA), and as an extra result, you'll not have the same level of
QA you could have, when you're doing a release.
it's much easier (as devs) to just choose a subset of packages, and test those
out.
if you have X QA-devs, and you have 1 subset of versions of packages, you can
test alot more than if you have several versions of several packages that need
to work all with each other in almost any combinations...
not to mention that you need an extra step with QA to put a "group" of
packages from one level to the next...
sorry, but with our current resources, i vote no. i want current resources to
be used much more efficiently than with a rolling release.
