[arch] Clarification on How the Rolling Release System Works

[Doug Jolley]

Well, I've been playing with Arch Linux for about 2 months now and I certainly like what I'm seeing.  For my own workstation, it's great.  However, I'm now thinking about moving on and actually using Arch in some production installations.  In that regard, I have some questions about how the rolling release system works.

Hypothetically, let's say that the latest released version is 'Yawn' and the next version to be released is 'BleedingEdge'.  So, put differently, BleedingEdge is currently under development  and development work has been completed on Yawn.   As the development work is proceeding on BleedingEdge, does Yawn receive security updates and bug fixes?  If so, how long does this policy of providing security updates and bug fixes to Yawn continue?

Thanks for any input.
