Maybe it's good to create a wiki page or so with a FAQ about both the
rolling release and the long term support issue, explaining why these
things do not exist and why people in general think it's a bad idea.

If people still want to argue *after* reading this FAQ, they should
have really good arguments.  The arguments in the original mail about
the "success" of mixing up things are by no means impressing, this
is just stating he's lucky enough to not come across all the possible
problems (and I'm sure there are *many* of them).
