Neither is every single software product out there.. ;-) Please make your case on what's the exact problem with having only rolling releases.
For me, the main reason is the fact that upgrades necessarily cause various kinds of problems from time to time.
Yes.
It's not only bugs and regressions but also intentional changes in program behaviour, config file syntax or semantics etc.
Yes. Or having to replace a package with another one, very different. ifup vs wicked, Initrd vs iforgotwhat....
It's acceptable for me to do a distribution upgrade once a year or two (less often on a server) when I reserve enough time to resolve these issues and I expect things to be broken temporarily. Having such issues continuously hitting me at random times in a "rolling upgrades" model is not acceptable for me.
Yes, absolutely!
That's why I'm not using Tumbleweed on any of my machines and I do not intend to.
I agree completely. Tumbleweed is great. Just not for me. If I have time, I might install it on a spare machine, for testing; but I don't have it. I may install it under vmware, though, for testing things. But then some devs don't like my reports. There are more issues with Tumbleweed. For instance, updates are bigger (no patches), and they are more, so you need a better Internet connection; and not everybody has it. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
