Why? Arch always was based on "rolling releases".
Actually, it's better to consider when it's really useful making a new release. Like if a lot of "basic" things like the recent kernel changes etc. changed, is actually a good reason to make a new release. Since a lot of needs to be done when you upgrade your system (not download etc, but rather changing device entries in /etc/fstab etc.). I'm fine with rolling releases, though, i think if "basics" are changing, it would be fine. I don't see a reason for pressure with release shedules. Another not time-based but task-based roadmap would be a fine option, so everyone can look which tasks for the next release are already done, and which are still needed to be done.
