People ask sometimes Why Fedora does not rolling distro? Sometimes think so too.

[Kevin Fenzi]

Here's my take on it: 

http://www.scrye.com/wordpress/nirik/2013/01/04/on-rolling-releases/

Basically I think the problem is that unless you are a user who really
enjoys troubleshooting and always getting new things and learning them,
rolling releases aren't really that great. 

With a timed or feature based release, you can decide when you want to
upgrade to the next thing and sit down and learn it, convert things,
etc. 

With a rolling release you get new things as soon as maintainers feel
they are ready, so it's a constant flow, you can't really stop too long
and put off learning or troubleshooting.
