Re: Mageia Rolling Release please

Well, you don't seem to understand:
Some of us (me included) would be happy with a rolling release, it IS a good thing, it HAS several advantages. So far we agree to each other. But what are all these advantages worth if you have to run a risk having them? Trying a rolling release with the current ressources IS a risk. "No risk no fun" does not apply to a Linux distribution as we understand it. So please understand that we agree to you but it's just not possible in the current situation, no matter how many more advantages you describe.
I think the reasons against a rolling release at this moment in time have been described many times. They are not technical reasons but just the current limitations of our ressources, something which can only be changed by a lot of new contributors coming in.
So, until this happens, could we leave this topic as WONTFIX for the time being, pls.
