I like the ideas behind the proposal. From the view
of someone whop has
looked at how we could achieve this in the past I see a technical
sticking point, that is how to ensure that we make sure that all the
different pieces are built on a supported base. The solution that I
kept coming to was that we needed to move to a rolling release in order
to allow different pieces to release and be supported on their own
time-lines. Where would we then have points in time for promotion from
one stream to another, i.e. development to stable.  Maybe I am going
off into the technical details too much for here, however this is a
problem that I would like to help solve.
