I can only speak for myself, but I don't see any chance of it going
anywhere _without_ some kind of more organized and detailed plan.

Again, speaking for myself, I don't have time or desire to go and
research rolling releases and come up with a plan. I would be happy to
look at such a plan and provide feedback.
I can think of several possible good things that could come out of a
more detailed plan:
- Perhaps you can identify some more minor change in our release setup
that could be done to more accommodate people who like rolling
releases.
- Perhaps the group would form up a new forked distro using rolling
releases.
- Perhaps you could convince people that advantages of rolling releases
are better than the disadvantages.
On the other hand, I think that the chance of any change or good coming
from prolonging this thread are slight.

I agree, its all pissing in the wind until someone takes a stand and
proposes something concrete
