And of couse the software you did unstall outside of the package
management (proprietary stuff,...).
And a bit to the argument of having to install loads of software at
the same time: When some basic libraries are upgraded, loads of
software have to be rebuilt against them, so with the rolling aproach
you will just get that massive upgrades more often, so where is the
bonus in it?
If people want to have their software more up to date, use backports,
if they want to have it even more up to date, use cauldron, but don't
cry if anything breaks.
