However, changing to a "light" rolling distro would force other users, who
don't necessarily want these updates (or, don't want to pay for all the
bandwidth for these updates, because they are happy with the version they
have) to download them.
Other distros are now trying this model, only for browsers as I now.
We can run a poll for select what are the programs in that list, and then
the devel team must tell us what programs can be upgraded due technical
reasons and what programs can't do.
My own favourites list is:
Openoffice (LibreOficce?)
So, you want to force everyone to download 300MB of packages, because you want
a few new features?
We were just reminded in another thread that many users are still using
dial-up services. I think we should also keep this in mind. It would be
nice to know, even if you are just speaking in terms of your knowledge
of your country, if dial-up service are prevalent in your country.
The update or do a rolling update may have a huge impact on these users.
In Canada, dial-up is still used but high speed hookup is the norm.
